Does anyone have any experience shipping engines from Canada to US? Any idea of the cost? Any issues with the EPA or any idea about taxes?
I realize it is much cheaper to have it shipped to a location near the border then go get it in a truck and drive it across yourself- however that is not an option with this. |

Update-
I have been working with www.engineshipping.com which has been quite helpful. The price from doorstep to doorstep is just under $500. I have been using a customs broker named near north customs and all seems to be going smooth there also. I think the customs fees, taxes and such were around $200. I also had to fill out an EPA form with the engine info and since it was over a certain age (21 years?) it is exempt from the epa regs. All has been smooth HOWEVER the simple task of send a check to Canada has been quite difficult. I sent it last Tuesday via fedex. It was supposed to have arrived the next day however it was seized by Canadian customs and then turned over to the CSIS (canadia fbi). Apparently, there is a lot of fraud going on in Montreal so they want to make sure that all checks being sent there are legit- the problem was that the ONE guy who takes care of this was on vacation so it sat on a desk for a week!!! It was eventually released then got lost but it eventually did get there- so hopefully smooth sailing from here. |
