I tried doing some searching but couldn't find anything specific to parts (lots of info on importing cars though).

My question is... Are there any issues with importing parts from the US into Canada (ie. customs, duties, taxes, etc.) that I need to be aware of?

I've been starting to think about getting some upgrades for my sedan and want to make sure I have all the information I need. I guess the second part of my question would be... Is there a difference importing new parts from a vendor vs. importing used parts from an individual (ie. off the US classified section)?

Thanks

 

Your gonna be paying taxes and duties, your better off shipping to buffalo and crossing the border to pick it up yourself and install there.

 

Do you know of any shops in Buffalo that would do the work?

 

Im not sure about that one, but you can always try what I told Geerider. He bought a cf trunk from strafe and had it shipped to bufffalo, I told him to make a fake CL ad saying someone selling a used trunk for 80 in buffalo and to print it out. When he came back to the border he showed them the ad and said he bought it used and paid NO duties or taxes.

Hope this helps

 

Yeah Buffalo is only 1700 miles from the OP's house.

Unfortunately we don't have a handy cross-border city. Great Falls MT is about the closest and that's a pretty fair hike. I just close my eyes and pay the duty/brokerage/whatever. Worth it, especially now that the dollar's nearly at par.

 

Lol sorry I thought he was from toronto

 

hmmm craigslist ad eh? im buying the chargespeed rear and impul sides, would it work if i made a craigslist ad? i can just say it said practically new, only put on for test fit, decide to go another route

would that work?

 

I dont see why not

 

For added assurance make a lil note saying i _________ selll this bumper to ______ for said amount. and sign it the persons name. Use it as a bill of sale and they wont bother you garunteed. Imma go pick up my raderwerks soon and say there some replica knock off wheels and there for 400 dollars used ollol. and hide some coils in my sub box LOL
