I just got off the phone with RIV - they are spouting their website information - only Honda S2000 is admissible. I have my doubts that the RIV 1-888 operators will have the latest news given the misinformation that has occurred over the last six weeks. Perhaps TC would be better to contact.

FYI...Any tax (AC/Tire Levy,GST, PST, Green Levy) is not part of the retail price on any vehicle in Canada. All are broken out separately on the bill of sale. My parents did not pay the $1000 at the border for their 07 V8 4Runner but were sent a letter/bill approximately 4 weeks after registering. If they did not charge it at the border, they will come looking for it later.

Any chance you can publish the contents of that one time amnesty letter. Who signed it?

My neighbor works at a used car lot in here in Calgary and they brought up some US trucks. Had the updates done (DRL, bumpers on those that required etc.), and registered with Alta Registries and then RIV came calling after they had sold some of the vehicles as 2 were not on the inadmissable list and they had not gotten a Form 2. Not the brightest used car lot owner I guess. They had to refund the money and are sitting on 2 of the trucks they brought up which look like they may make a trip back to the US. They apparently did none of the research that the members on this board had done. Probably just looking to make a quick buck and skipped the due diligence. Hope there aren't too many out there like this guy lol.

Yes jashall, having that letter would really help.
You can black-out any private details, but don't get crazy like the CIA!!.
Please post a scan of the letter on http://www.carswithoutborders.com, along with your story if you have not already.
Thanks.

Vehicle Export Worksheet Question
by silverboy

Could someone who has imported a new vehicle and had to file the Vehicle Export Worksheet with US Customs (apparently a requirement at Sweetgrass MT, not sure about elsewhere) please answer a question for me? On the form, there is a blank for the "Title Issuing State". I'm not sure what to fill in. Since my vehicle is new, my understanding is that there isn't a title per se. So I'm wondering if I should just leave it blank, say "n/a" or just fill in the state of the dealer I am buying from. I can't get ahold of a live body at US Customs so if someone out there could help me, it would be much appreciated.

You need the Title to Export. Your dealer should have the original Title. Pretty sure this is correct.

Thanks. They reduced the pricing for highlander limited model. It comes with navigation package built into it. So the diff between fully loaded base Ltd & hybrid limited is only $ 1925.00. Why Would somebody now buy fully limted model in Canada ?
As compare to USA pricing its another good news. Fully loaded hybrid limited C/W import duty of 6.1% will cost you $ 49603.00 in US dollar. So price diff is only now of $ 6372.00. This is good news for people who want to buy Hybrid Limited. All these calculation are based on If you conside US & Candian dollar at par.

You can download the amnesty letter at http://68.146.1.199
I've also posted several versions (including pre-November) of the RIV Lists of Vehicles Admissible

Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought that the MCO (which is what you are supposed to fax to US Customs) was used in lieu of a title. So is there something on the MCO that would indicate the "Title Issuing State"?
