Nothing to it. I brought an RX400H in on Tuesday. Just fax a copy of the title to the US Customs 3 days in advance, then call them to make sure they got it. The http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/export/export_d...tor_vehicle.xml site gives instructions and click on Ports at the bottom to find your port of entry, with tel #'s and fax #. Stop there on the way out, with the orginal title & passport, and they stamp an approval, if their are no liens. Then stop at Canada border. You will need the title, and invoice. They will fill out Import Form A, charge you GST, Duty and A/C excise tax (bring a credit card), and send you on your way. Then go to RIV.ca, pay the RIV fee, then fax in the recall letter and form A. I can't remember the fax numbers, but you can call RIV at 1-888-848-8240, to find out. 2 weeks later you will receive Form B in the mail, take it to Canadian Tire, then after inspected and passed, you can get your registration. You can get it insured, as soon as you have the title.

This is really helpful. Thank you so much. I have another question. Not sure if you purchased new or used. I purchased an '07 so it is 1 year old...I was given a title certificate. It is signed over to me on the front but I noticed the back portion (for registering a US plate) is blank. Any idea if the US border requires this to be completed and signed by the seller? From what I remember, the title of certificate was duely completed by the "Seller" (aka, purchased from Dealer/Leasing Company) and forwarded to me (delivered within the vehicle when transported to me) and I cannot remember if I signed anything myself. I photocopied it in triplicate and had to forward that minimum 3-5 days in advance to the Border Customs Agency. I know that was in fact one of the papers required, so that they can do a verifcation to see if there is any Lean on the vehicle prior to exporting. cheers, MadloR Hi davefordham, I am looking into buying RX400h from US and bring to Toronto. Can you please provide me any help as to what to look for or/and any preparation I need to do before making attempt to buy one from US dealer. If you have step by step instruction on importing that vehicles, that would be great! Thank you in advance!
