Last I heard this sort of thing didn't justify being allowed to drive across the border and you had to get it shipped or imported for you the commercial way.

Yes but he's allowed to fly in and they can't refuse him entry into his own country if he drives it to the border, grey area I guess.

Importing a car into Canada must be done through a broker now irreguardless. Even a parts car cannot enter Canada now without a broker being involved. Show me the proof !! I think that by the time you paid for a flight, overnight stay and the trip home, a broker's fees wouldn't be a whole lot more. And I'm wondering if brokers can cross these days ??

Read through this, particularly step 4: https://driving.ca/auto-news/news/how-to-import-a-car-from-the-u-s-into-canadaTerry is correct. To get the Internal Transit Number, you need to be a professional, licensed importer, i.e. a broker. I've imported a car from the US in 2018 and the process explained in the article is exactly what I did. Mike.

All the broker does is process the paperwork. They don't go anywhere. You would still need a trucking company to bring the car across for you. Kevin

You "personally" can still go down, pick up the car and drive or haul it across the border yourself. I wouldn't say that because of the situation now. With the restrictions in place because of COVID, I'd expect a commercial transporter would need to be involved to go get the car in the US and bring it into Canada. Best advice I could give to the person who started this thread, call the US Border office and Canadian Border office where the car would be crossed and find out what they want you to do. Mike.

Well I supposed I should have spelled it out for some of you that i was generalizing and didn't mean "now" !!!

Well the original question was about importing a vehicle now. But I looked too yesterday and didn't see anything specifically for doing it with the oandemic going on. I still wouldn't count on being able to do it too easily at the moment because they don't expect people to be treating buying vehicles and bringing them across borders as essential travel. Cross border trade is deemed essential and shipping is essential travel. Technically he should be able to take a truck and trailer and go get the car himself and have a broker look after the paperwork and commercial entry. Kevin

Kevin Yes trade and shipping is essential but buying a car and travelling thru the US to get it isn't. It's one thing if you're a commercial shipper or importer but completely different if you're a private individual. The same problem comes to play with shipping. Anyone using border shipping addresses can have the items imported across the border for them but they can't drive down themselves to do their own pickups. The best thing to is to call both the US and Canadian sides of the nearest border crossing and ask them about the situation and how to handle it and if they say it's OK to cross yourself ask for backup information.

Technically he should be able to take a truck and trailer and go get the car himself LOL !! Yeah, good luck with that !! Your "interpretation" and "real life" are two different things. But hey, what have you got to lose, you're not the one trying to bring in the car !
