magicfingers Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 anyone ever imported a boat from a non title state?
BillM Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 All you need is a bill of sale, a title isn't required... If it was built in the US, Canada or Mexico you won't pay duty.. File you customs papers, once you get them back take those to Transport Canada and you'll get everything you need.
magicfingers Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Posted March 14, 2009 thanks for the info.I have imported 2 boats but have never imported from a state that has no title.Just wondering how it worked for the trailer as well.notorized bill of sale is good enough? Boat is coming from alabama thanks magic
mikeh Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 I imported my boat from Ohio, the boat and motor had separate title papers but they don't have titles for trailers. Trying to explain that to our MOT was a nightmare for a couple of days. I finally had to get a letter from MOT in Ohio stating that they have no titles for trailers and that a bill of sale is all thats required. It had to be on their letterhead.

Sandbag Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 Magicfingers I'm not sure about boats, but I know people that have attended the snowmobile auctions in Michigan earlier this year. The auction house has signs up telling Canadian buyers to only purchase the sleds with title and not the "bill of sale" only sleds. Worth a call to Customs before making the trip to save you some agro on the way back. Cheers Craig
eyefish Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 I had the problem as mike...what a nightmare
magicfingers Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 stopped at customs today in porthuron.They said the boat is no issue at all.They said i should try to get at least the old registration for the trailer or i could have problems at MOT. Thanks for the replies. now only 30t hours of driving to get this thing home
