I'm seriously thinking about importing a mini truck here to Toronto Ontario and want to learn from you. Please post your story with costs if you could to help me and others learn the process. Shipping, rail freight, other tax fees.... This is what I have been quoted "$4500 on top of the winning bid including all Japan side charges, freight, rail transport from Vancouver, clearance and duty etc, and compliance." $4500 on top of auction win sounds a bit too much to me. Thanks alot
oh yes I agree $4500 plus cost is criminal. the terminal is right on Annis island . this is where ship comes in. then they load it right on train. I have been quoted $900 to Calgary from port Tony
It was around 1600 to ship my hijet from Japan to Halifax roro. Truck was about 1600 at auction. 1000 for the exporter. We cleared customs. Cant remember the duty cost atm but truck has ac so that adds 100 more. 50 to get it out of port. Then the provincial tax if 12%.
Close to 5g in our driveway with repairs and mods. When local seller adverse plain trucks at 7g before taxes. We got hijet 3 way low dump 5 speed climber with diff lock and ac with 83000km needed fuel tank Cleaned new filters and plugs. Put munroe shocks on back and 250 springs in front. Rx7 rims and wallmart winters new cheep on kijiji. Plug Wires new and brakes new all around. Mirrors and one inner door handle stolen during shipping. Got new mirrors off yahoo Japan and a set of pads and shoes for spare.
What year hijet did you get? It sounds awesome, you should post a pic. I think Im leaning towards one as well with diff lock and dump too. They seem like a cool features.
Look for my post here or on import era forum. Dave a brave auto is also another exporter I almost went with
Apparently nothing coming this way.have a coworker with a legacy gt b that has to go to Vancouver and be railed
I tried to contact these guys using their purchase to order form to get a quote almost 2 weeks ago and still havent got a response. Ill try again..
