Replying to: wrajinder (Nov 20, 2007 1:21 pm) "To import a vehicle from the U.S. the vehicle must be cited as admissible on Transport Canada's List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States. Assuming this vehicle is listed as admissible, the vehicle must also bear a Statement of Compliance label affixed by the Original Equipment Manufacturer stating that "the vehicle as manufactured to comply with all US federal emission, bumper and safety standards on the date of manufacture". Failing that, we will accept a letter from the manufacturer stating the same." I wrote back and ask them to clarify... if the vehicle bears the statement of compliance label, no letter is required? I'll keep you guys posted. Cheers. |

Many posters here including myself went through customs without any physical inspection of the vehicle. Same thing goes for the CT inspection, although you may be dinged with re-inspection fees on that end if you need to try and try again. Regardless, the laws of averages are on your side and the costs are likely to be lower than the loss you will incur to return it. Best of luck. netdog

Replying to: wrajinder (Nov 20, 2007 1:21 pm) I was interpreting things the same way as you but now know how to read the list. Every notes section has the words "See explanation section". These 3 words apply to all cars listed in the admissible column. When you refer to the explanation section it tells you that you need a 114 compliance letter. This is how it is working... Sucks but true. They need to take all toyotas and list them as inadmissible because they effectively are... Cheers

Replying to: showmeanimport (Nov 20, 2007 3:01 pm) Just to go into more detail. If you go and check specs for all vehilces shown as admissible without immobilizer as standard .They carry see notes section. as Highlander base model do. You have to see " safety" column in all vehilce specifications. |
