• Booking: Choose a specialized car shipping company that offers transport services to Canada. Shipping methods include air freight for faster delivery or sea freight, which is more cost-effective. Sea freight options include container shipping (Full / Shared) or Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) services.
• Documentation: Importing a vehicle into Canada requires compliance with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Transport Canada regulations. A valid Import Permit, customs declaration, and required paperwork must be prepared in advance. A local power of attorney can be arranged to facilitate the customs clearance process on your behalf.
• Preparation: Before shipping, the vehicle is inspected, and necessary documents, including the original purchase invoice, title certificate, and export documents from the country of origin, are verified. The fuel level must be below a quarter tank. Photos and videos are taken to document the car’s condition prior to transit.
• Logistics: Once the vehicle is ready, it is securely loaded onto a container, vessel, or aircraft for transportation. Upon arrival at a Canadian port (such as Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal), it is unloaded and prepared for customs clearance.
  Export and Import Customs: Customs procedures involve submitting an Importer Security Filing (ISF), paying duties, and ensuring the vehicle meets Transport Canada’s safety and emissions regulations. We assist in the process, ensuring all paperwork is complete and any applicable fees are paid.
• Vehicle Compliance and Registration: After clearing customs, the vehicle must undergo an inspection by the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) to ensure compliance with Canadian standards. Modifications may be required, such as installing daytime running lights or adjusting safety features to meet local regulations. Once approved, the vehicle is registered, and Canadian license plates are issued.
  Additional Services: We offer additional support, including assistance with insurance, registration, car detailing, modifications, and doorstep delivery.
• Important Note: Always check the latest Canadian import regulations concerning vehicle age, emissions, and compliance standards before shipping. Contact us for detailed guidelines specific to your vehicle and destination.
