Are you shipping the car? or driving it over. If driving it over, they will need to see the car.

If shipping, find out which Bonded Warehouse it's going too. Get the cargo documents from there, and go to customs office.

FIll out Riv form, Pay GST, excise tax and riv fee. Your done.

Of course, if you dont want to do all that. Customs broker is the way to go.

Probably the most difficult aspect of such an importation is notifying Canada customs ahead of time if you're spending more than $10,000 CDN on a car. Usually they don't care too much if you're over by a bit. But if you go down there with $25,000, they'll usually get a little annoyed and start doing a lot more paperwork than you really want to bother with.

Also, some states do NOT have title-requirements for vehicles which can be a difficult situation. Some people don't know how to take care of such a problem.
