13k here and 19k on eBay?

 

[DesertEmu]

I was going to say the same thing its not selling because its not worth either.

 

[bugsnbikes]

$13k canadian = $9750 U.S. id say it should still fetch close to that even tho youd need to find some fenders and rear bed if you wanted to go the Oem route.

19 K on ebay? You must have it confused with a different one.

When I brought a 77 FJ45 across Ar Roosville, they nailed me for 25% of purchase price in taxes, because it was a "truck".
Some said I got nailed, others said not.
What is correct?

That doesn't sound right, someone messed up..

last i heard a pick up has a %25 import duty.

 

[wdukes]

Your are actually correct...according to my experience. I bought a 45 pick up in Canada and was checked at the border. The guy at the border(sitting behind the counter and never standing up to look at my rig) went into great detail about how lucky I was that my Landcruiser was not a pickup. Said a guy had gone thru earlier in the week and was shocked by the 25% tax on a $20,000+ truck. I was looking in my rearview the first couple miles just waiting for them to figure out that I did have a truck.

Bring the chasis and front end over with a 40 tub strapped to it - it's a parts rig -

IF you paid a 25% fee you got ripped off. Sold my 45 to a guy in FL and there were no extra fees crossing the border

 

[AirheadNut]

It all depends on the border agent. I've imported 5 non-US vehicles (2 into Washington and 3 into Montana) and have only had to pay duty on the 2 in Washington. One of those was a Hilux pickup, and it was 2-3%. I have called CBP a couple of times to try to nail down the definition of "truck" but have had no luck. Unless the vehicle is there at the border crossing they won't give any definite information about the eligibility or the duty.

Congrats! Cool!

Technically chicken tax applies to all (non Canadian made) light trucks imported to USA. Light truck being a pickup or 2 door SUV. Whether your 25 yr old or older classic gets hit with it is the luck of the draw (or which agent you get).
