Fife RV Removes the Obstacles from Importing an RV into Canada

Having sold many RVs into Canada, we have experience and are comfortable with the process. Fife RV Center understands the paperwork and the process needed to ensure that our customers have a pleasant and simple border crossing experience. The process to import an RV is straightforward. We supply you with all the necessary paper work needed for the border office.    

Below is a list of things that you will need to take care of before you can get your new RV into Canada. We will help you with these as to insure a smooth, hassle-free experience in taking your RV across the Canadian Border. 
                              As you go through our website, be aware that all prices are in U.S. Dollars.

This paperwork consists of the following:

PURCHASE ORDER: - showing the vehicle identification number and the agreed-to purchase price. This needs to be a signed original as the Canada border agent will calculate the goods and services tax from the paid amount on the purchase order. The recall clearance letter allows you to pass Federal Inspection. Recall clearance indicates the absence of any safety defect on your vehicle that would be identified by the manufacturer as posing a potential safety risk to the vehicle's operator, occupants and public at large unless corrected.
(Fife RV Center will supply this to you.)
RECALL CLEARANCE LETTER: - Printed on the manufacturer's letter head and must show the VIN number of the vehicle being purchased.
(Fife RV Center will supply this to you.)
TITLE or MSO: -The title or MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin or factory title before it is turned into a customers ownership title) needs to be assigned to the purchaser by the dealership. You will need this document as it is the only document that transfers ownership to the customer.                                                
With these three documents you can take your new purchase home. At the border, stop on the U.S. side first to be sure the U.S. border agent needs nothing. Stop at the Canada border agent office. They will want to see the paperwork given to you at the time of purchase by Fife RV Center. They then inspect the trailer verifying that the serial number matches, have you fill out an import form and will collect the goods and services tax and the Canada RIV fee. (A credit card can be used for the tax and fees.)
You can pick up your RV at out lot, or we can make arrangement for delivery into Canada at an added cost.  Because we are transferring title to the customer and as a dealership doing business in the United States, we have no recourse to recover a vehicle once it has passed over the border. We require that the vehicle is paid in full before it leaves our dealership. We request that a wire transfer of funds be completed in the amount of the agreed to purchase price. This assures our lenders that the vehicle was paid for before it leaves our possession. Typically a wire transfer of funds can take up to three business days.
