| OT Importing From Canada
I am looking to import a 36 Packard from Canada and need some advise.
Should I hire an importer, or is it easy to do myself?
App how much should it cost ( duty etc) if I do it myself or hire an importer?
Any body recommend a good importer if I need one?
Is ther anything else I should know?
Virgin Importer
Thanks

I just completed the process of working with a broker (A N Deringer) to import and deliver a G from Quebec. They emailed me all of the necessary forms, talked me thru the process of filling them out, got US Customs pre-approval paperwork done, picked up the G at the seller's place of work (this morning)and arranged for transport to New Mexico where they will deliver it to my place of choice. Cost was about $3k, taxes included.
I'm super slammed at work right now so I took the easy way. A large portion of my expense is the transport almost all the way across the country so your expense wouldn't be anywhere near that
A N Deringer has an office at almost every US/Canada border crossing. Call the one closest to you.

We bought the 88 SWB 230 GE that was for sale on Clubgwagen. The seller was Titus Pullo. It was great doing business with him - he was super helpful and patient while we arranged the sale and transport. |
