Auto Import Worksheet for Auto Import to Canada

Since there are several different government agencies that regulate Canada car shipping, importing a vehicle tends to be more time-consuming.

All 5 of these organizations must approve your vehicle:

  • Canada Border Services Agency
  • Transport Canada
  • Canadian Food Inspection Agency
  • Environment and Climate Change Canada
  • US Customs Border Protection

If your car meets these requirements, it must be on Transport Canada’s list of admissible vehicles and pass the Registrar of Imported Vehicles inspection before it can be imported. Importing a vehicle that will not be admissible could be a costly mistake. This is why we recommend working with the best Canadian car shipping in & near Surrey, BC, to avoid paying unwanted penalties.

Before we start the auto-import to Canada in & near Surrey, BC, we need to make sure your car is admissible. To do this, we contact the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV), an agency contracted by Transport Canada to administer a national program to make sure that imported vehicles comply with Canada’s safety standards.

We know all about the RIV program, vehicle admissibility, RIV exemptions, vehicle modification requirements, recall clearance information, and vehicle branding history. It does sound like a lot, and it sure is, so if you decide to do the auto-import to Canada by yourself, prepare for unwanted complications that could turn the process even more challenging.
