Importing a Brand New Californian Car into Vancouver, BC

[goodboy9394]

Hello guys, I am a new user to this board and I ams very exciting to join the RFD community...

Anyways I have a question to ask you guys: Has anyone ever imported a brand new car from California? I've browsed the threads posted by other users, but I don't really understand the importning process......

My Case: I have a brother that lives in California. We've done some online car shopping and we're amazed by the American prices. My idea is to get my brother to buy a car and then have him transfer it over as a gift.

Also, I understand there are different emission standards in the states... ones that are registered as "49-state legal" and "California legal". Is that something I should consider when it comes to importing the car into Vancouver?

Thank you very much guys!!!!!

The gift thing wont work, you will still have to pay tax on the new car price when you import it.
