Importing a Toy Hauler

Just wondering if anyone has imported a new Toy Hauler into Ontario Canada. If so what hoops did you have to jump through to get it inspect and certified?

Any help would be great.
  • Hello Everyone and thanks for the information

    I received this from a dealer that doesn't sell the Raptor but is a Jayco dealer.

    If you purchase it in the states then due to Ontario law we will be unable to work on it. The problem with toy haulers from the states is that ESA (electrical safety authority) will not certify them which is the minimum requirement to sell or repair a trailer in Ontario. Because they won't certify toy haulers they can't be resold in Canada. If they have CSA from the factory however then you're okay

    Has anyone run into this before?

    Thanks
  • Thanks guys

    When I do the math I'm still saving about $7000.00 if I buy it on the US.
    Just try to see if I have everything covered or if I'm missing something.
  • If you are buying from an experienced dealer it's very easy.
    The dealership I bought mine from provided me with all the paperwork I needed. It really was not difficult at all to import with the title and recall clearance letter in hand.

    Keep in mind our dollar is weak right now, might not be the best time for it.
  • If it has a Canadian Certification sticker on the hauler, it makes it a breeze! If you're going to buy new, see if the haulers manufacturer offers Canadian Certs (probably will be a upgrade fee)
