Location.

Located at the convergence of the rivers Red and Assiniboine, Winterpeg is the capital city of Canada’s Manitoba province. Known as the “Gateway to the West,” this city is one of the country’s best connected, with major links to railways and multi-directional highways. It’s also the only city between Thunder Bay and Vancouver with direct rail connections to the USA.

Required Documents.

The importation process is pretty straightforward between the America and Canada, but you will need a couple of important items:

• Notarized copy of photo ID.
• An original copy of the vehicle’s title, certified by the DMV.

Preparing your Vehicle.

There are several simple preparatory tasks and checks that should be performed on your end beforehand:

• What’s your fuel level? We generally recommend leaving the tank at about ¼ capacity. This helps movers with loading and unloading while keeping weight at a minimum.
• Are the brakes in proper working condition? Double-check them before shipping.
• Have you turned off the vehicle alarm? Doing so helps prevent battery drain.
• Have you emptied the vehicle of personal belongings? Please do not leave anything in the vehicle other than emergency equipment, like the spare tire in the vehicle.
• Have all exterior accessories been removed? Fixtures like antennae and ski racks should be taken down.
• Is the vehicle clean? A thorough wash, inside and out, helps expedite the inspection process.

Cargo Options Available to You.

First, decide if you need roll-on/roll-off transport or container cargo. For open shipment, vehicles can be driven directly onto the carrier vessel, which is the more affordable alternative. In contrast, container cargo encloses vehicles in cargo containers for further protection and security. While most customers are satisfied with roll-on/roll-off shipping, individuals transporting high-priced automobiles (such as classic cars) may find cargo containers more convenient.

You’ll also have a choice of pickup and delivery options. In door-to-door delivery, the shipper collects the vehicle from you and delivers it to your desired destination. At the same time, terminal-to-terminal delivery­ spares this expense, though you’ll be responsible for bringing the vehicle to the departure terminal and picking it up in Winterpeg.

Customs Regulations.

Canadian Customs has established a set of regulations governing the importation process. Note a few quick points below, but feel free to check their website for a full list of rules and requirements.

• A copy of the original title must be submitted to the border station you’ll pass through, at least 72 hours before crossing. Failure to do so can result in a fine.
• Not all vehicles will meet Canadian regulations regarding emissions and other factors, so check that yours is acceptable by viewing the Canadian Registrar of Imported Vehicles.
