Canadian Customers
Important Information...
Now has never been a better time for our friends in Canada to purchase
a new or preowned RV. With currency, exchange rates at there current
values and our low volume pricing philosophy, the benefits to our customers
in Canada to purchase goods in the United States has never been better.
It only makes cent$ to buy from us.
We have sold many RV's into Canada over the years, but as the exchange
rates have gotten closer to even, more and more customers have been making
the trip from Canada to purchase new and preowned RV's. Rocky Mountain RV
understands the paperwork and the process needed to ensure our customers
have a simple border crossing experience.
The import process is a simple one. We supply all the necessary paper work
needed for the border office.
Paperwork consists of the following:
PURCHASE ORDER - Showing the vehicle identification number and the
agreed to purchase price. This needs to be a signed original as the Canada
border agent will calculate the goods and service tax from the paid amount on
the purchase order.
RECALL CLEARANCE LETTER - This can be a faxed copy but does need
to be on the manufacturers company letter head and must show the VIN number
of the vehicle being purchased.
TITLE or MSO - The title or MSO (Manufacturers Statement of Origin or factory
title before it's turned into a customers ownership title) needs to be assigned to
the purchaser by the dealership. You will need to have this document as it will
be the only document that transfers ownership to the customer.
With the three documents listed above we give you, you'll be ready to head
home with your new purchase. Once at the border you will need to stop by the
United State side first to make sure there is nothing needed for the US border
agent. Next, proceed to the Canada border agent office where they will ask for
the paperwork we have supplied to you at our dealership. They will inspect the
trailer to make sure the serial number matches; have you fill out an import form and
will collect the goods and services tax and the Canada RIV fee. (We have been
informed by our customers that a credit card can be used for the tax and fees).
Because we are transferring title to the customer and as a dealership doing
business in the USA, we have no recourse to recover a vehicle once it has passed
over the border. One of our requirements is to have your new purchase paid for in
full before it leaves our dealership. Typically we request that a wire transfer of fund
be completed in the amount of the agreed to purchase price. This ensures our lenders
that the vehicle was paid for before it leaves our possession. Typically a wire transfer
of funds can take up to three business days, so planning ahead before making your
trip is a great idea. This could save you time and money.
Other facts to note with importing into Canada:
Most websites state that there is a 72 hour waiting period before you reach the
border with a vehicle. This is only true if the vehicle is a motorized vessel, such as
a car, truck, motor home, ATV, etc. With a non-motorized vehicle such as a travel
trailer, 5th wheel, or truck camper, there is no 72 hour waiting period. You can pick up
your new unit and head strait for the boarder with no wait period. In the very near future
you will be required to furnish your passports before entering the USA. If you do not
already have a passport, it's a good idea to obtain one for traveling to other countries.
Keep in mind, it may take up to 12 weeks to obtain a passport.
TESTIMONIES:
Hey Rocky Mountain RV. We bought a new KZ from you late last year. I wanted to let you know that you guys are the best. You all treated me like I was a part of your family. Crossing the boarder was never easier. I have to admit, I saved quite a bit of money buying from you. We will keep you in mind next time we run into someone who is looking for a new RV. Thanks again for everything.

Thought I would drop you a line. My family and I are greatful for all that you did for us. Allen took very good care of us. Thanks for letting us stay in our new fifth wheel on your property. It gave us a few days to learn how to use our new unit. Brandon was so helpful when showing us how to use our fifth wheel. My brother-in-law is looking to buy a new trailer and I have recommended buying from you.
P.S. Made it across the boarder with no troubles.
