Automobile Shipment and Cost.

Automobile shipment from the United States to Canada is very convenient and the auto transport company representative will guide you through each step of shipping as you make your plans. They will need some information about your identity as well as the kind of car you have to be able to process the transport. The total cost of shipping will be based on several factors including the distance the car will be travelling, whether it will be picked up and delivered, the weight of the car and the kind of transport you will be using during shipment. Usually you will be able to have door to door transport, but if you prefer you may also ship terminal to terminal. If you will need to move your car and home possessions you can arrange for that to be done at the same time. You will want to plan ahead by making your transport arrangements at least two to four weeks in advance of the date you will need to have the car shipped. Automobile transport runs on a fairly normal schedule and you will want to make sure there will be available space on the carrier for your car during the time you need it moved.

Customs and Taxes.

Your car will have to cross the United States/Canadian border and you will need to prepare for that in advance. U.S. Customs as well as Canadian Customs will need some export/import documents including your driver’s license and motor vehicle title at least 72 hours before the car is shipped. You will also want to check with your transport agent or contact Transport Canada for information on motor vehicle standards in order to check to see if you will need to modify anything on your car before it can be imported. You will need to pay a general tax, possibly an excise tax and import duties when importing a car to Canada. Often, the import duty fee can be waived. Cars that will be travelling through Canada to go to other areas or cars that are older than ten years from the date of automobile manufacture can have the import fees waived but you must apply for exemption prior to shipping the car. Taxes and fees are usually included in the total cost of shipping and will be paid prior to the car being shipped from the United States. The transport method that you have the car shipped by will also be included in the total price of shipping.
