Registered in the USA, then the car has to be imported...Nothing to do with where it was built.
I don't believe that is the case. The 25% tariff are for some products coming into Canada that were actually made/assembled in the USA with American materials. For example I am in the USA right now as a snowbird and I bought a new golf bag. That bag was made in Mexico and I have the tags to prove it. Going back to Canada I do not have to pay the tariff on it but if I exceed my $800 limit on duty free then I would have to pay on the excess in taxes. If X66 714's car was registered in the USA but was actually an import into the USA and made in Canada many years ago I don't believe the tariff would apply.

It all has to do with Country of origin and production outside of Canada.

We can beat this to death here and get no where.

WHEN YOU GET BACK TO CANADA, let us know how you made out.
As for X66's car...I'll bet they charge him to bring it in, THEN he has to go to Customs office in his town with proof.
But I believe he will have a US customs document for the importation.
He'll find out when he gets there.......hoping it works in favour of him.
