Are there emissions testing for the vehicles? (archive)

Are Processes as difficult as here in the usa?
it is a 90 E34 //M5 and a 86 //M635 like mines
that he has. what if he landed the cars here in the usa then transported them to canada before
doing any of our federalizing work.....Do you think that is possible? or would a company have to be involved....

Pat,

I may be able to offer some help as I work for Canada Customs in Southern Ontario and would die without my 6er too. If your family member is coming to Canada via the USA, the car may enter using an R.I.V. form. This form is done at customs to import a vehicle into Ontario from the USA, and enable the owner to plate it in the province. The cost of the RIV is $182.00 (of course the gov't has to make some money right.) The RIV is then sent to the Ministry of Transportation, and a few weeks later, he can plate the car. The US spec 6 should have no problem, however I'm not sure about the Euro 6. Furthermore, we have a Drive Clean program in Ontario now, and every car made after 1981 will have to undergo emissions testing. Perhaps the Euro may be excempted? Not sure. I may be able to provide you with some telephone numbers to help you with you questions should you have any.

Hope it helped.

Rob

As I said before I have a family member migrating
to toronto canada. For him to take his car there
from germany, or here from the usa would he need a
company to do the importing as we do here in the usa?
