From what I understand, this can be a bit difficult depending on which border crossing, who is working that day, etc. If possible, I would talk to someone at Customs, at the border crossing where you want to import the car, I mean car parts. Do not refer to it as a car or you will have major problems. It must come into Canada as car parts since it will not meet federal standards, no air bags, no impact bumpers, all that stuff.

Don't bother calling Ottawa. I tried that and was told that there were no kit cars in Canada. The fellow I talked to wanted me to give him names of companies that were involved in making or distributing kit cars so that he could have them shut down. What a twit!

As stated above, Bob Wheaton knows how to do this as he has imported several FFR kits. I bought a Canadian car, partly to avoid having to deal with Canadian Customs.

Good luck,
Wayne
