Default Got room in 45ft Container to Canada if you need stuff??

Hi all,

As an offer I have my 45ft Container loaded next week, headding for Vancouver.

I have got only enough to fill it up 1/2, thats as I have left my son the rest of my furniture so if you have things that you want shipped over to collect in Vancouver, drop me an email / PM

Just an offer.

Container leaves Hull on Feb 16th, but as I drive every week to Essex / Yorkshire in a truck / Chiller but never on chill as is not required can collect if your around the M25 / A1 / M1 / A19 routes.

Regards Skip.

There you go - |WRONG - WRONG - WRONG

If you know me then you wouldnt comment such crap.

To answer it - I have a house full of goods, sold a lot and when estimated space needed, together with placing a car in the container, I opted for 45 footer.

Son wanted this and that, and wife sold the car, so I have paid for the container.

So, I offered to others if they want goods taken to Vancouver, then the FREE cartage offer is there.

If you dont, then skip the question and dont bother answering.....

I purchased on e-bay a 730i BMW and as you know the older cars in UK are very good and low priced items - But the import duty the Canadians wanted ment that its value is zero in real terms so sold it on e-bay for double what I paid for it 2-yrs ago .

Try posting this on the main Canada forum you might get more interest as most truckers are blokes and only pack for overnight, where as the female of the species reads the main forum and they pack 45ft containers for a weekend at brighton!

Hope you don't mind me asking, what was the import duty rate on the vehicle? Is it a percentage of 'market value' in Canada or UK, or is there some other system used to calculate it?

Oh this may help as it was sent to me as an example for US to Canada:


You'll find "How to Import a Car Into Canada" at the Registrar of
Imported Vehicle website. Basically, the cost will be:

1. RIV fee: $195.00 + GST (and QST for QC) plus
2. Air Conditioning: $100.00 + GST
3. GST: (6%) of total of the purchase price.
4. Duty: Free (confirm that the first digit of the VIN # is 1, 2, 4, or 5).
5. There may also be an excise tax if overweight
6. Inspection fee (Canadian Tire)
7. Provincial Registration fees

Import Tariffs

tariffs. This is indicated by a 1, 2, 4 or 5 as the first digit of the
VIN."

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"
