| Help With Landing in Canada and bringing your own vehicle with you |

You need to fax your title to the US CBP 72 hrs prior to crossing the border. Don';t send the origianal title - you will need that when you register your car in Canada. US CBP will only date stamp your title and record your VIN as exported.
True - it's somtime tricky to actually stop at the US side before you drive into Canada. Call the US CBP office where you will exit and ask for direction. Sometime the broker's offices are at a different location. Also ask for the hours. You can usually import into Canada 24/7, but only export during business hours. I learned that the hard way coming to the export office past midnigh. Also bring the fax transcript as a proof you did fax it. The US guys can a bit harsh sometimes.
They don't usually search through your stuff on the Canadian side unless they suspect you're not honest. I had a 26' U-haul parked out-side and they didn't even care. They only looked through my B4. However, they did walk out to my car to verify the VIN number, make/model and colour.
Good luck! |
