US Market vehicles (with a FMVSS sticker ) to Canada:

If we are
talking strictly about Vanagons it is a non-issue as all Vanagons are now
15+ years old and they do not fall under the Resistrar of Imported
Vehicles people.� Simply show up at the border with title and bill of
sale and tell them you bought said van.� They will direct you inside
and collect 5% GST, 6.1% import duty, $100 excise tax if there is AC, fill
out a Form 1 for you and off you go - 15 minutes tops.� Then it as
simple as registering an out of province vehicle when you go to the
province for registration, for most it is a safety inspection, VIN
inspection and collecting the provincial sales tax.
