US: buying a car from Canada Options
My relative in Canada would like to sell their car to me in US. Are
there any special procedure we need to follow to do that? Do I have to pay import tax or something similar? Will there be extra cost involved? Thanks, |

You will need to pay 2.5% duty on the current value of the car. Plus there may be state and local taxes applicable in your area. Besides that, you need to make sure the car is importable with or without safety or emissions modifications. For that you need to read the PDFs on that government Website I gave. All your answers are there. Here's the link again: <http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/import/> -- Tegger |
