Air Cooled 911- Canadian Import Process?
I'm currently looking at a car located in Canada and wanted to know what the process is for importing it. I hear there's exemptions for cars that are over 25 years old (this one is). I've also heard that the 2.5% duties are exempt up to the first $400. How does that work? Do I need a Canadian temp tag, and how do I get one remotely? I plan to purchase the vehicle and have a transport service bring it to the border for me to drive across (I live in Michigan). DOT Form H7 and EPA Form 3520-1 - do I fill these out still for the car or is it exempt?

I have used Greg at Crossborder Solutions for 5 cars...and for a nominal fee...(cheap in my opinion)....manages the entire process. 613-968-1428. Make sure you know pick the transporter though ie Intercity...or one you trust.

Car is in Vancouver. I just need a state temporary tag and I'm good right? Then take the Canadian registration to the DMV with the import paperwork and request a title?

Correct. You go to the nearest Autoplan broker (they're everywhere) with the seller, sign the transfer form (available there), and seller signs the bottom of the registration/ownership slip and the agent will be able to issue you a temporary operator's permit. Proceed to drive down to Peace Arch and fill out the two forms with the CBP and then to your friendly DMV office.
