Help me with travel/transfer from one country to another

[BrianK]

Hello, I'm trying to buy a wide gauge for myself, the machine is located in the USA and I'm wanting to bring it to Canada.

Can someone tell me what I have to do with regards to the boarder crossing? Paperwork, customs, etc.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian K.

You shouldn't have any problems getting the machine back into Canada. I brought the 1959 narrow guage I'm currently working on back into Canada from North Dakota. The only issue the American side had was that I had the proper chains etc. to secure the machine to the trailor. When I  got back to Canadian customs I had to take the bill of sale in and they did up the paper work which included paying GST. After that they came out and inspected the machine and I was on my way.

thanks, I have been speaking with customs on both sides it seems easy.

Just need bill of sale, year make model
and give US boarder crossing 72 Hrs notice.
and probably have to pay the GST like you said
