Temporary Import of Class A to Canada

Gone south: Be cautious in accepting info on this subject from me or anyone else. It is a grey area. Jaxdad has of course given you bad information. You MAY be able to bring the unit to Canada BUT not to use it. You can bring it home to do repairs or load it for travel. Cannot legally go camping. Otherwise everyone would be doing this to avoid taxes. Why do you want to bring it to Canada? Many states will not accept your Canadian registration to avoid sales tax. Indiana collects on every unit sold even if it is going to a nearby state. Arizona collects sales tax from dealers on any unit sold. Dealers used to drive your purchase to NM or CA but that has been stopped as well. This subject has been discussed in Snowbird forums. Mostly by Ontario residents who winter in Florida. No matter what you do make sure you write your question in a letter form to CRA and Customs. If you get a positive answer that letter is a ruling! Your vehicle has to be registered somewhere so some jurisdiction will collect tax. Unlesss you want to go the Montana LLC route. Some expats use South Dakota. Low taxes. As was stated many states collect an annual tax! HST will look cheap in comparison. I do have experience in most of the actions I mentioned.
