Market WorldŽ Support Services

 
  • Assists with export documentation between seller and buyer.
  • Assists in product location.
  • Provides financing for buyer on approval.
  • Export Document Generation and filing
  • Using an import broker is optional.   The function of the import broker, in part, is to provide you with duty taxes and transport services.   If driving your car from USA to Canada, most of these services are able to be handled by by yourself, without additional cost.  However, certain designated importers in Canada do the pre-screening of eligibility to import.  Their pre-screen fees are included within their service fees.  Vehicles produced in 2008, if not found on the current authorized import list, contact the manufacture for additional information.

  • Make sure the car or truck has the following: As of September 1, 2007, the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations require that all new cars and trucks produced after September 1, 2007 meet anti-theft and other safety requirements.   Your car or truck must either be on the list of approved imports or have a certificate so indicating that the specific vehicle is able to be imported.   See this PDF file for a list of approved cars and trucks here.

  • You may agent contract with a common carrier to pickup your car and ship it to a specified location.   If you do this, make sure the carrier will provide adequate insurance for this transport. You may have to purchase additional insurance to raise this coverage.   If you drive your new car or truck, consult with your insurance company for proper insurance coverage. On request, we will assist in locating a carrier that services your area of Canada.

  • If you do not travel to seller's location, have and independent inspection done to aid in review of the physical and performance condition of your prospective car or truck, reporting directly to you.

  • If you come within the USA by visa or passport, you will need to sign a document one time to allow Market World, Inc. to transmit your export documentation so stating that the information given is accurate as submitted to Market World, Inc.   It is easy to fax to Market World the information needed to complete the filing.   Upon filing, (it takes about 3 hours for turn-around response), you will be given a confirmed document number that will be used at the border crossing by US and Canadian customs.   They will have access to the filed document that is secured electronically.   You will make any Canadian customs duty payments at that time.  This is an electronic filed document.  Printed Export Documents are reserved for special cases.

  • Ports of exit from the USA may be found at the USA Customs website. Plan you travel based upon these resources.  The port of exit is required on your export documentation filing.

  • If you carry additional purchases in your truck or car of value greater than $2500.00 USD, we can include those items within your export documentation for a nominal fee.

  • For an estimate of fees to be paid to Canada, the Federal Goods and Services (GST) tax is 5%, in some locations, a Harmonized Sales Tax is used (HST)  that combines GST with other local taxes.

  • Questions about duties and taxes on imported goods, including vehicles, should be directed to the Canada Border Services Agency at 1-800-461-9999 (in Canada) or 1-506-636-5064 (outside Canada).

 
Full Filing Cost in USD for drive-out exports from USA is only $25.00
  • A good Canadian reference for a summary of importation into Canada is found here.

  • For those shipping to countries other than Canada, the USA port destination for foreign imports is available on this reference website. There are many independent trucking companies that service Canadian imports. This gives the nearest USA port for cargo shipping into different countries. Request from Market World assistance for research for other shipping needs to other countries.
