[QUOTE="Area Z51, post: 7053, member: 355"] Importing is as easy as 1-2-3, as long as you have: 1) Car is admissible-check RIV.ca website 2) 2005 and newer corvettes have no restrictions for importing..no more bumper styrofoam replacement req'd, or anything else 3) As long as it is considered "used" with at least 5000Km's (not positive) it can be imported. It's advisable to buy a certified GM car..warranty is tranferable to Canada. 4) Have to have bill of sale and registration changed over to your name, and a copy faxed to nearest US customs 72 hrs prior to bringing it over. Require a transfer plate from US to drive car to Canada. Once you arrive at US customs with your car, they will want to see original documents and stamp the registration with US customs stamp. 5) Cross to Canadian border, and show original documents, and US customs stamp 6) They will convert the cost of vehicle to Can $ and you pay 8% federal tax with credit card, etc. 7) The Canadian customs fills out RIV form 1, you get a copy, so you can get an RIV inspection at a Canadian Tire store. 8) A recall letter is required from a registered GM dealer, or GM US or GM Canada. This is required to send to RIV for the Canadian approved sticker for your vehicle. 9) Once Canadian Tire approves the inspection, then you can get car registered in Canada for plates, pay 5% tax based on cost of vehicle in Can $. 10) Once you send the recall letter to RIV, then in about 2 weeks you will get the sticker for your car. Your good to go. [/QUOTE]
