The following are a few suggestions for anyone importing a bus to Canada.

1. Use a local RV dealer to to the financing and importing. We used Fraserway, one of the largest dealers in Canada.

2. All the financing was arranged before hand and we were able to wire funds the moments we made a decision to buy.

3. We used Fraserway dealer tags to drive the bus back.

4. Their customs agent handled all the border issues.

5. Because we were using a customs agent and it was a dealer purchase, the importing at the border was all a formality.

6. They never even checked our passports and never looked at the bus.

7. 15 year old busses are exempt from the inspection process.

8. I have several files you might find of interest and will be happy to share those with you. Make sure that you check the List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States here http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/importation/impusae.htm before you sign the dotted line. There are many new coaches that are not importable because the companies did not go through the additional process required.

I will be happy to share any information I have.
