Location.

Located in Southern Ontario, Brampton is a suburban city in the Greater Toronto Area. Hauling is an easy process, as Brampton boasts excellent rail connections to locations around the country, and access to major highways. The nearby Port of Toronto provides a gateway to water routes as well.

Customs Laws and Regulations.

Canadian Customs has put in place guidelines to shape the importation process. Take a look at a couple of important notes:

• According to the US Custom 72 Hour Export Law, a copy of the ownership title must be sent to Canadian Customs officials at least 72 hours before the car crosses the border of the country. Failure to do so can result in delays and/or fines.
• View Canadian Registrar of Imported Vehicles to ensure that your vehicle will be admissible.

Required Documentation.

Close cooperation between the American and Canadian governments has ensured that the vehicle importation process is relatively straightforward, and doesn’t require too much paperwork. Do make sure that you bring the original title of the vehicle (or a DMV-certified copy), and your passport.

Methods of Shifting and Delivery.

You have the option of open or enclosed shipping.

• Roll-on/Roll-off Shipping – In this open relocating method, the car is loaded on large ships directly. To prevent any movement and damage, the car is then secured into place by heavy-duty straps. It is then unloaded in a similar manner once it reaches the destination. This is the option of choice for most customers, as it’s both safe and economical.
• Container Hauling– The car is driven directly into a cargo container in this enclosed method of shifting. These containers can be loaded onto carriers in much the same way as any other freight, and they provide an additional layer of protection that may be desirable for those with especially valuable vehicles.

Terminal-to-terminal and door-to-door are two choices available to you when it comes to the delivery of the car. With terminal-to-terminal service, you will be responsible for dropping off and collecting the vehicle at the ports of departure and arrival, respectively. Door-to-door service provides vehicle pickup and delivery to the locations of your choosing.

Preparation Checks.

Follow these important guidelines to ensure that your vehicle is ready to be relocated:

• The car must be thoroughly washed and cleaned, outside as well as inside. This helps to speed along the inspection process.
• Please empty the interior and trunk of all personal belongings.
• Make it easy for shippers to move the vehicle as needed – disable your alarm system and fill the fuel tank about ¼ up.
• Check for any fluid leaks, as these could result in damage to your own vehicle or to others.
