Hey all,

I'm planning on shipping my MKI TDi from Japan to Canada when I return next month. Does anyone have any advice about this - which shipping companies to use, paperwork hassles etc.?

So far I have an estimate of about $4500 CDN door to door. Does this sound reasonable?

Cheers and thanks,

I shipped for Japan to Botswana.
Company Japnesevehicels.com Not a bad company. Cost was interesting <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />. Cost: vehicle cost +U$1500 shipping fee +U$150 for insurance +A nasty fee for downloading (was ZAR 7000 here in Durban at the docs) +Import duty (We have a 35%) +VAT (10% on the lot!) +Roadworthy and registration.

Hope Canada is a bit more realistic. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The preference has changed to vehicles rather from Singapore since they are in a better condition/value for money than the ones from Japan.
P.S. I should have discussed this with my wife prior to ordering! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
