Okay but if you read the whole thing (not just the highlighted section you have) it doesn't say what you are talking about. Infact the way I read it you are supposed to adjust (add) the shipping cost. (read my highlighted/underlined section and yours together). Then again I'm no lawyer so...

Never mind. Found it! I've highlighted the portion relating... I'm not seeing what you quoted.

Okay I'm not seeing that can you provide a link? I don't know maybe my reading comp skills are different than yours but I'm not getting what you got from reading that section.

section 48 of what??? State your source please.

I agree 100% If only the mods would give me the power to edit some of the crap that has made this post 40+ pages.:p

You guys do realize that the orignal sticky is over 3 years old? Apart from the RIV fee going up the sticky still is the general procedure on how to import.;)

You're losing the point of my orginal post about this. All I'm trying to do is make you people aware of the facts do what you want and like it or not that is the way things are. Someone coming in to pay on their vehicle cuz the smuggled it in THEN found out they couldn't plate it and now is...

Duster, what happens a lot of times is people smuggle a vehicle in only to be met with Red tape when they go to plate their vehicle. Then they come back to CBSA to pay their taxes because that's the only way to get the their vehicle on the road. ;) So like I said before it all boils down to...

No I don't work for Canada Customs as they don't exist anymore however I am the Original poster of this sticky, which was written from FACTS and not my personal experience. While personal experiences may change, FACTS 9/10 do not.;) To answer you next question. The guy here on vacation is...

Put it this way if some dude walk into the office to me without a good reason as to why he wants me to fill out RIV paperwork that should have been done at the POE I'm seizing the bike. In the end better safe than sorry I say.

Right.... What exactly is your knowledge on this? You are right there are procedures for US owned cars/bikes that are already in Canada but as I said there are also good reasons why these bike are here. The usual case is that the owner is living in Canada on some temporary basis (which by the...

If you did this you would be buying a bike that has been improperly brought into Canada and not authorized to be sold. Expect a lot of questions and possibly prosecution should you not come up with a good story as to how you came to knowing buy a bike that was smuggled into the country. But to...

My best guess would be a US bank draft/money order from the bank. If you are prefer cash then change it at the bank I find that most banks don't charge for money exchange and the ones that do don't charge as much as a place like money mart etc.

If RIV says it's not admissible then it's not possible.

It's cash or monetary instruments. If you aren't sure what monetary instruments are declare it. Cuz saying some unknown customs officer told me it wasn't cash wont help you when your cash and vehicle is seized and you're standing at the border SOL.;)

And make sure you declare currency over $10,000 at the border or risk having your $$$ sized.;)

Yes you should. If at the minimum that $500 buys you piece of mind, nothing worst than taking on someone else's problems. Spawn PST is accessed when one gets their plates from the MTO.

Buy it... You asked a question I gave you an answer if you don't like my answer then do as you wish and see for yourself. The bike has not been imported into the country do you know what that means? It means that the bike is in this country ILLIGALLY. Do you want to answer as to how the bike...

DO NOT BUY THIS BIKE! LET HIM DO ALL THE PAPERWORK FIRST. Since he hasn't properly imported the bike the bike is in this country illigally you will face red tape if you buy this bike and try to do the paperwork yourself. It's like trying to buy a stolen bike and then trying to register it.

You could do it, cuz pretty much once you leave the border it isn't enforced really... That is unless you get a cop that used to be a Customs officer and know about what I posted above. However if you are going to ride around on US plates just don't ever take that vehicle across the border as...
