Frequently asked questions
How much duty will I pay in Canada?
6.1% duty (often zero under CETA) + 5% GST + provincial HST/PST.
How long does clearance take in Canada?
5–10 working days at port; provincial registration 2–4 weeks.
Is the UK-Canada CETA duty exemption automatic?
Not quite — you must provide an Origin Declaration on the commercial invoice signed by a UK exporter under their REX number. Without it, CBSA applies 6.1% MFN duty.
Can I import RHD to Canada?
Yes — all provinces accept RHD vehicles. Some insurers apply a 10-15% loading; shop quotes before importing high-value RHD.
