The  reason they have to be 16 years old or greater has nothing to do  with
avoiding duty.

Canada law does not permit the importation of  any vehicle from a country
other than the USA that is less than 15 years  old.

Thank  you Jeff for finally pointing this out.  It's amazing how much garbage
 people write when they don't know or investigate the "True" story !    The
real "pisser" here is that the "CANADIAN" Government is hard at work trying  to
change that law to become 25 years just like the good 'ol USA !  Bummer  if
that gets through !  All Canadians interested in keeping this law at 15  years
should contact their parliamentary representative TODAY and tell them to  keep
it a 15 years !

Cheers,
