    Anyone know what the fees involved are when you buy a used car in the states and ship it to canada?


    Besides the obvious shipping.

    So long as the car that you buy in the US is also sold in Canada, there should be no problems that I know of.

        You may be required to pay duty on the vehicle, not sure you should check with customs before you bring it over the border.

            You can only import 15+ years old car.

            JNS Imports - Importing used vehicles from Japan into Canada
            Can I import newer vehicles that are less than 15 years old?
            In general, the answer is no.

            However, vehicles that are less than 15 years old, which have the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards compliance label affixed by the original manufacturer, can be imported into Canada.

            Note that JDM vehicles generally do not have the Canadian or U.S. compliance label, and thus, must be over 15 years old to import. As a rule of thumb, if the vehicle is Right Hand Drive (RHD), it won't have the Canada nor U.S. compliance label.
            I took JNS Imports for example, I never used them

              Isn't there a situation with the emissions?I think you might have problem getting an American car through our strict pollution control testing..unless it is over 25 years old

                  Check the Registrar of Imported Vehicles

                  Didn't you even think to check the Gov't of Canada website?
