How to Ship to Kitchener.

You will be able to have your car shipped either by RORO or Container shipping depending on the kind of car you have and whether you need to have extra protection during transport or if you have items other than your car to ship. The ways you can ship to Kitchener, Canada from the U.S. are:

RORO, or roll-on/roll-off transportation, is a time-saving and cost-effective method for transporting automobiles. A RORO carrier, which could be a truck or a ship, is used to safely move automobiles from one location to another. RORO is an open mode of transport; while a vehicle may hold 10–12 automobiles, a ship can hold several hundred.

Containerized- Shipping with enclosed, or container transport is a common way to ship race cars, luxury or classic cars. It’s also a great way to ship a car when you need to ship other items at the same time.

Canadian Customs.

When you ship a car to another country, you will inevitably need to abide by the rules of customs. This applies to Canadian Customs as well as U.S. Customs and other countries around the world. You can import one personal car into Canada, and if the car is more than 10 years old you will most likely not have to pay import duties on it. You can import a car on a temporary basis for up to 12 months with no import duties as long as the car qualifies under the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada agencies and you have in writing that the car is exempt from duties for temporary import. You may exceed the 12 month limit if you are a student or your employer writes a letter stating that you will be employed for longer than 12-36 months and will be residing in Canada for the duration of your education or employment. You will have to send the motor vehicle title to the border that your car will be crossing at least 3 days before it will cross. Your shipping agent will be able to provide you with all of the information on that. You will also need to have your driver’s license as well as the title to the car ready for customs at the border check as well. If you do not have the original title you can bring a copy and it should be accepted. You will want to make sure the car is roadworthy when it is loaded for transport by checking the fluids, making sure the battery is fully charged and that you have fuel in the tank. The shipping agent or carrier driver will also explain automobile preparation for transport with you and may have you disable your car alarm or remove accessories from the exterior of the car like luggage or bike racks or designer antennae’s.
