Hi all got someone who is interested in my 261 inline form the USA My question is what’s involved in shipping this thing? Customs, duties, shipping company etc? I’ve bought and sold parts and it’s not been an issue using ( fed ex ups etc) I have no issues putting this thing on a skid strapping and crating it Can also bring it to my work so it can get loaded on a truck properly Just need to know what shipping company to use and what cost to expect. It’s a 261 inline 6 it weighs around 600-650 my guess on a skid and crated around 700-750 No fluids as it’s never been run and I can drain the oil before shipping Thanks Daniel
I have a similar situation in that I want to take my 425 nailhead to Russ Martin in California from B.C. Does anyone know what US customs will require. Cheers Ian
This is probably not exactly the info you are looking for but...... I took an engine into the U.S. to get rebuilt. U.S. boarder asked what I was doing.....their reply "Have a nice day!" So, getting the engine in I would think not a problem. I am not aware of any duties going in. So, crating and shipping would seem simple enough with a trucking co. that hauls to the U.S.. For those taking the engine over for rebuild make sure you let Canada boarder know that it's going for a rebuild and it's coming back. Have them write it up (using serial numbers) and don't lose that paperwork for when you return. Make sure you have an invoice for work done on your return as that is what you will pay Canadian taxes on. Pretty simple.
my 34 coupe was turned back at the border when a canadian was bringing it to me, but an american brought it rite thru with no papers, "have a nice day". i have brought parts into canada and got quite a bunch of h***el, and every thing coming back to usa has not been an issue. the real answer to the question wont be known until the border is in the rear view mirror
All boarder crossings are not equal........ I have brought in and taken over autos/parts many times w/o issue.
It's very easy.... a bill of sale and a transporter. Or bring it across yourself(Say Buffalo) add your cost for the day of hauling it yourself..... Hook up with a service/storage provider.. such a Kinek and deliver there.It's up to your buyer to have it picked up and transported to his/her destination. US CUSTOMS may ask the worth for Tax Reasons upon entry....... On the way Back..... Canadian Customs may ask you where you been... that answer is up to you.... But honesty is the best policy.... you don't want to mess with Customs.......
Outside of applicable tax on the sales price it has to meet or be exempt from the Clean air Act. There is pretty much all the info here including info on the forms and do***entation you need. https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/218/~/requirements-for-importing-a-vehicle-/-vehicle-parts The main things I see are compliant or exempt from the clean air act and actual proof you own the engine. The clean air exemption is probably the easy one. photos of the casting date, casting number and stamped serial number plus cut and paste do***entation telling what each means with the link to where the do***entation was found printed out on a sheet of paper. Basically a note that says that these three items show that this engine was built in ___ year and it does not have newer parts on it. n older customs agent may take a glance and say ah they haven't built one of those since 1961 while a fresh new guy might want all the info as he or she has never seen one before. If the engine came new in a truck you have ***le to and are replacing with a V8 I'd add a note in that respect. This was the original engine in my truck that I hold ***le to vin _______ the engine has been replaced with a newer engine and the truck is still operational. = yuppers I have proof I own it and can legally sell it. Actually it may be simpler than that. you would mark the box on number 1. https://dot-hs-7.pdffiller.com/
