Bringing a U.S car into Canada
In addition to all of the above, I also carry a copy of my method of payment (wire transfer, M/O, certified cheque - I'll even photocopy every bill if I pay cash). I also carry a copy of the ad where I purchased it from. Do not lie on the Bill of Sale. I declare unattached spare parts whether I paid extra for them or not. I also send in a signed letter stating that I did indeed make the purchase from wherever to whomever for the correct amount. Do not speak unless spoken to, and when you do speak, do not mumble.
All they are going to ask for is a measly 5% GST (plus $100.00 if it has A/C - working or not), if you can't afford that, then you should not be involved in the deal. Bring cash to pay your taxes, way less hassle in my opinion. These guys are tax collectors just doing their job.
I find it easier and less expensve to hire a broker to do the job. They set everything up, the transporter brings it across, and the deed is done. Then it gets dropped in your driveway and it's like Christmas.
