| Canada RV Delivery Service
We
deliver anywhere in Canada via "Portal" crossings between the USA & Canada.
We charge
$1.10-$1.30 per loaded mile one way in the USA and $1.30 per mile in Canada
based on current gas prices.
"MAP
QUEST" is used as a tool to determine the distance from the dealership to
the point where the customer takes delivery. Our address is 4500 Apple
Avenue, Muskegon MI 49442.
A bonded
delivery service and insurance is provided on the RV until the customer
takes delivery.
Trade
in's can be picked up at the time of delivery and returned to the dealership
for a fee of $.99 per loaded mile in Canada and the USA.
To save
money, the customer can take delivery of the RV on the USA side of the
border. This saves the cost of a border crossing agent, which can be
estimated at $500. The customer can take the RV across the United States and
Canadian borders, upon entering Canada the GST tax and Canadian Tire
Inspection Fee ($195.00) must be paid. . We provide all of the necessary
paperwork needed to cross the border through Customs. The following would be
needed:
-
Bill of Sale
-
MSO
-
Recall Clearance Letter
-
Nafta Letter (Mfg in US)
If the RV towing company delivers in Canada, the customer will have to
arrange for a Border Crossing agent to prepare the necessary paperwork
to take the RV across the border and pay the necessary GST tax. Before
calling the Border Agency, call Canadian Customs at 403-344-3772. Record
the agent's name for future reference and they will tell you exactly
what is needed to bring the trailer across the border.
The
truck driver stops at the Border Crossing Agency, on the US side of the
border. The Border Crossing Agency provides the truck driver with a
packet, containing all the documents needed for the Truck Driver to take
the RV across the border. The Customer pays the Border Crossing Agency
for "Services Rendered" including the GST. The customer is required to
have a copy of Form 1 from the delivery driver to show that all
necessary taxes and fees have been paid.
The Registrar of Imported Vehicles will not issue a federal inspection
form or any specific modification information for a vehicle with an
unpaid file. The compliance status of every vehicle entering Canada
through the RIV system is shared with all provincial and territorial
licensing jurisdictions. Non compliance with the Motor Vehicle Safety
Act may result in a refusal to license, or a revocation of an existing
registration.

Canadian requirements:
You're Requirements at Border:
Produce your title
documents, registration and sales receipt.
Complete Vehicle Import
Form-Form I, which Canada Border Services Agency provides. Form1 must be
kept in the vehicle until it is licensed. Also, this requires a Canadian
mailing address.
Canada Border Services Agency will need to:
Check Canada's Transport Vehicles Admissible from the United
States.
Verify the public VIN and Manufacturer's Statement of
Compliance label on the vehicle to make sure they match.
Collect from you your non refundable Registrar of Imported
Vehicles' fee of $195.00 + GST in all provinces except Quebec where it is
$195.00 + GST and QST. Payment for the RIV can be made with any major credit
card. Cash or schedules are not accepted by the Canada Border Services
Agency. To pay by check or money order, you must mail it to the Registrar of
Imported Vehicles' in the envelope they provide.
What to do after the vehicle enters Canada |
 |
After payment
and the recall clearance documentation have been received by the
Registrar of Imported Vehicles an Inspection Form will be mailed which
details what must be done to bring your vehicle into compliance.
It is your
responsibility to complete the necessary modifications within 45 days.
You may have the modifications done by the mechanic or garage of your
choice. However, we recommend that you contact the Original Equipment
Manufacturer to discuss appropriate parts or warranty issues. Make sure
you keep receipts for parts and labor, to present at the inspection,
along with Form 1, Form 2 and the recall clearance letter.
The RIV has
contracted with Canadian Tire, with 470 locations across Canada, to
perform our federal inspections. In many cases, Canadian Tire can
perform certain modification work, as well as performing the provincial
inspection.
When you pass
the inspection, the inspection centre will stamp your Form 1, that you
will have to present to the provincial or territorial licensing
authority, which may require additional testing.
Within
approximately one week of passing the federal inspection, we will send
you a new Canadian Certification label with instructions on where to
affix it to your vehicle.
If the vehicle
fails the inspection, you'll have to pay additional charges for another
inspection. If the vehicle cannot pass the inspection within the 45
days, it will have to be exported back to the United States.
If you are
having trouble meeting the 45-day deadline or other questions, we may be
able to help. Contact us at
info@riv.ca or 1-888-848-8240.
