Why Ship Your Car To The US?

It may seem like a daunting task to arrange to transport your car across the border, but our friends at Canadian Car Shipping take care of all the details for you. When you drive your car from Canada to the US, you put unnecessary wear and tear on your vehicle, waste time and gas waiting in line to be cleared and keep all of your documentation organized and on hand in your car.

Reasons for Transport

One of the most important factors for transporting a vehicle across the border is the reason for the transport. This determines the forms that need to be filled out, the information that must be provided, and the fees associated with these things. While every situation is different, they all fall under one of the three reasons for bringing a Canadian vehicle into the USA.

Formal Import

● Canadian Registered Vehicle
● Permanently importing into the US
● Common case for relocation, sales, and corporate vehicles

Temporary Import

● Canadian Registered Vehicle
● Will be in US for 1 year or less
● Common case for Snowbirds, extended-stay visiting, or specialty repairs

Returning to US

● US registered vehicle
● Has been in Canada for 1 year or less
● Common case for Snowbirds, extended-stay visiting, or specialty repairs

What Is a Registered Import?

Corporate-owned vehicles or vehicles that are being sold into the US are required to go through a Formal Entry process, including a Registered Import. Registered Imports are very involved and require extensive paperwork. Our partners at Canadian Car Shipping know exactly what to do to make sure that your vehicle is successfully imported and delivered right to your door.

Importing Requirements

Every country has its own set of rules and regulations for vehicles. For example, any vehicle less than 25 years old must meet all of the U.S. safety and emission requirements to be imported, as they are different from Canada’s requirements. You will also need to attain a letter of certification from your vehicle manufacturer that verifies that your vehicle meets all required standards for import. Canadian Car Shipping will review all of this prior to shipping to verify that everything is in order.
