Title: Importing a Ducati from Europe to Canada Post by: rorschach on May 11, 2013, 01:09:11 AM Hi. I will move to Canada to Vancouver in the near future and i also want my bike there.
It's a 2000 Monster 900 S with Ohlins in the back, Termi mufflers and all the other goodies, took good care of it and i don't want to sell it. Sentimental value and from what i searched no 900 Ss there for sale and very expensive even the smaller capacity ones. (http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/7346/20121103115751.jpg) Is it hard to import it ? So if i may these are my questions: 1. I understand that there is a 15 years old rule, if older than that no problem that they will accept it 100%. True? 2. What tax do i need to pay ? 3. Are there firms that handle everything, i just need to pay (more) but no worries from my part ? (i understand that the customs refuses it they will destroy it) 4. Shipping, how much and what options are there ? 5. And let's asssume the worst, i can't import it. Can i just ship it in parts like a personall good ? and buy a regular cheap 900 there and just move my parts on that frame and i will have a spare bike in the process :) Any imput is of great help. Thank you. Title: Re: Importing a Ducati from Europe to Canada Post by: scaramanga on May 12, 2013, 05:44:57 AM call air canada cargo
http://www.aircanada.com/cargo/en/ (http://www.aircanada.com/cargo/en/) I called them planning a future trip to Europe leaving from Montreal. They told me that my bike can be shipped on a pallet made for bikes (no crate needed). Cost one way was about 2K cnd. They also have all the paperwork needed for importing. Nice ride.

I am not sure how the paperwork goes in that situation. I have imported a few bikes and it is pretty straight forward, you will just need to make sure you get a list of paperwork and make sure you have them when you bring it into transport canada. there is a $200 importation fee, and gst pst on the purchase price.
