Import duties and taxes "If your vehicle is eligible for importation into Canada according to both CBSA and Transport Canada requirements, you will have to pay import assessments which may include duty, excise tax, and the [6%] Goods and Services Tax (GST). Provincial or territorial sales tax may apply when you license your vehicle. If you import a vehicle from outside Canada into Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or Newfoundland and Labrador, and you paid for the GST of 7% on your importation, you will also have to pay the 8% provincial part of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) when you license your vehicle. Generally, you do not have to pay duty on an imported vehicle that was manufactured in the United States, Canada or Mexico; however, we will assess duty on a vehicle manufactured in a country other than the United States and Mexico. Duty and taxes are assessed on your vehicle?s ?value for duty?. This is a value determined in accordance with the Customs Act and declared in Canadian funds. A value for duty must be established for all goods entering Canada. Ordinarily, the value for duty is established under the transaction value method, one of six legislated valuation methods. This method can apply where there is a price paid (or to be paid) in the sale of a new or used vehicle for export from a foreign country to a purchaser in Canada. The price of the vehicle will include amounts for any foreign sales taxes collected by the vendor, as well as for any warranty payment made by the purchaser to the vendor or to any third party identified by the vendor. Certain additions or deductions to the price may also be necessary. Limitations on the use of this method may apply. For example, if the negotiated price of a new automobile is made on a trip outside Canada, the trade-in value of your old vehicle is taken into account. In cases where value for duty cannot be established under the transaction value method, it must be made under one of the five alternate methods. For assistance in establishing a value for duty for your vehicle, contact our Border Information Service line at 1-800-461-9999 during regular business hours. If your vehicle has air conditioning, you will have to pay an excise tax of CAN$100. You will have to pay additional excise taxes if your vehicle weighs more than 2,007 kilograms or 4,425 pounds. The following example shows a breakdown of the customs duties and taxes assessed on a United States-manufactured automobile sold for export from the United States to a purchaser in Canada and imported in calendar year 2005. Example 2005 model year automobile purchase price (includes state taxes) US$50,000.00 value for duty (price converted to Canadian currency at current rate of exchange ($50,000.00 x 1.20*)) CAN$60,000.00 duty at 0% $00.00 excise tax on air conditioner 100.00 excise tax on excess weight 00.00 $100.00 $100.00 value for tax (value + duty + excise tax) $60,100.00 GST ($60,100.00 7%) $4,207.00 total cost $64,307.00 total duties and taxes paid to CBSA $4,307.00" http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/E/pub/cp/rc4140/rc4140-05e.pdf
