its the same as European delivery. Its not a gray market import. You do pay the taxes when it arrives, but youre just importing your own property.

That i dont know, i believe that has to be initiated with the dealer in Germany or here.
So this whole thing started when i was in germany and i went to check out cars. I ended up just renting since work covers it, but i thought about buying and then bringing something fun back home (Golf R wagon). I talked to the dealers and it's easy enough to do, you just do the importation paperwork. But when it arrives in canada, you need to make it road legal like any other car. eruhh not make it road legal, it has to be built to be road legal in canada (so request a Canadian spec car from the factory but take delivery in Germany.. ie european delivery).
"Determine if the vehicle you plan to bring from Germany into Canada bears a statement of compliance label from the original manufacturer proving that the car is designed, tested and certified to meet the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or the United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Such cars can usually be found in areas where Canadian or American Forces are stationed in Germany. If you purchased a used car equipped with such a label and the car was built in the same calender year you are planning to ship it from Germany to Canada, you may import the vehicle into Canada and circumvent the 15-year-age rule. The same applies for vehicles with such a label if you received it as a gift from a friend or relative no later than one year after manufacture. You may then bring the vehicle from Germany into Canada, if you can prove by way of a certified document signed by both parties that the vehicle was indeed given to the owner as a gift."
