Required paperwork for auto transport from US to Canada
Please carefully review the paperwork requirements for US registered vehicles that are transported to Canada in bond.
We strongly advise you to visit Canada’s Registrar of Imported Vehicles to confirm that your vehicle is admissible.
You will be required to send the original vehicle title or a copy certified by the Department of Motor Vehicles to the appropriate border crossing at least 72 hours in advance of the vehicle shipment. Our dispatcher will let you know the name and contact information of that border crossing in plenty of time for you to have the title delivered. A copy of your photo ID will also be required.
