has anyone shipped a rock crawler to canada from the states and what kind of problems did you have if any with customs

Where is it coming from, where is it going?

DO NOT call it a vehicle. It is an off-road dune buggy.

you will have to pay GST and if it is not a vehicle, no further notice is necessary.

Show up with the bill of sale, proof of payment and all the origonal paperwork, pay the taxes. Say thank you, have a good drive.

OR shipping through a carrier?

If in Alberta... call Caneda shippers out of Edmonton Alberta.

I brought my chassis home from the US couple of weeks ago. it was easier cause it had no engine, but the only thing they seem to be really intrested in at the border is weither or not it will be plated and/or insured. If its offroad use only shouldnt bee too much of an issue. We spent more time trying to explain what a "rock crawker" was than going over any of our purchases.

Are you selling it or just shipping it for your own use?
