When I imported my 1 1/2 ton US Chevy from Holland the shipping was about $1500.00. A couple of years later when I imported the DAF it was almost $4000.00. At that point Agriculture Canada wa involved also, checking for mud so that cost is extra. I think about $ 1000.00 of the DAF cost was trucking from the port of Montreal to the Port of Toronto. (Pearson Airport). I could have cleared customs in Montreal and drove the truck home, but not speaking fluent French I felt the hassle was too great. I know I have said this on MLU before but I still can't believe Brian Gough and I were at Pearson Airport on the morning of 9/11 clearing customs with an army truck and had no problems. Brad could probably get a truck shipped to Halifax and pick it up much cheaper. Also just a little off topic, when we sent a container from Castleton this year I had to get an export licence from Canada Border Services. Maybe now an import licence is required also. It is worth finding out first because it will only hold up the container. Ask me how I know.
