Vehicles
Vehicles include any kind of pleasure vehicles such as passenger cars, pickup trucks, camper trucks, vans, Jeeps, chassis cabs, motorcycles, snowmobiles and motor homes, as long as you use them for noncommercial purposes. However, you should be aware that Transport Canada has many requirements that apply to vehicles.
Transport Canada defines a vehicle as any vehicle that is capable of being driven or drawn on roads, by any means other than muscular power exclusively, but not including a vehicle designed to run exclusively on rails. Trailers such as recreational, boat, camping, horse and stock trailers are considered vehicles as are wood chippers, generators or any other equipment mounted on rims and tires.
Import restrictions
Import restrictions apply to most used or second-hand vehicles that are not manufactured in the current year and are imported from a country other than the United States. For more information, please refer to the CBSA publication called Importing a Vehicle Into Canada, which is available on the CBSA's Web site at
www.cbsa.gc.ca, or visit Transport Canada's Web site at
www.tc.gc.ca.
Transport Canada requirements
Transport Canada requirements apply to vehicles that are less than 15 years old and to buses built on or after January 1, 1971. If you are considering importing such a vehicle, be sure that it meets Transport Canada's import requirements or that it can be modified to meet these requirements after you import it. Not all vehicles from the United States can be imported into Canada.
If you have purchased or acquired a vehicle from the United States, you must contact Transport Canada's Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) before you import your vehicle to ensure that it is admissible for importation and can be modified to meet Canadian standards after you import it.
