Thanks for the input. Is there duty or taxes paid here/or to canada on the sale price of the car ?

When i purchased the truck in the Us the paperwork was sent to the border 3 days before I picked up the truck. I drove the truck to the border with a one day license from the state of New York and my insurance . the documents were there ready . I then paid the taxes at the border (gst) ,they inspected the truck and then drove the truck home.
Then I had it certified by Canadian Tire mechanic(free service)then I took the certificate to the ministry of transportation to change the title into my name in the province of Ontario.Then I payed the other taxes for the province at that time.
The taxes are the same as they would be if I purchased the truck in Ontario. The state of New york did not charge me tax.
All of this info is on the site for the importation of motor vehicles. You can email them and ask specific questions reqarding your situation. Easy
