Importing a JDM to Canada.

By Eric B.

In Canada, there is a rule, or should I say law regarding the importation of any vehicle. That rule is, the vehicle needs to be 15 years or older to be allowed to be imported without any problems. It's officially all due to health and safety concerns. But in reality it was so companies like Mercedes Benz could get more money from us, cause before the law, a lot of people were importing cheap cars from Europe and Asia. In Europe at the time, you could buy a Mercedes Benz for let's say 10 grand. Even with importation charges, the cars that were sold here cost a lot more. Like 2-3 times more. But with that said, the law passed and here we are today. And hey, in the United States, the law is 25 years, with is more ludicrous.

But with a lot of the 90's JDM cars being 15 or over at the time of this writing, we can start importing those sweet, sweet cars. Sweet cars, like the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R and The Nissan Silva. Cars that we all dream of owning, are in our grasps.

Websites like Goo-net exchange allow the process of finding and importing these cars easier. On their website, you can search for cars that are for sale in Japan. When you decide to buy a car from them, you need to contact them to get it rolling. They will help you set up shipping for your new car. Then when ever if comes to port, you can then drive it home!
