So I'm in Saskatchewan and picked up an 87 HJ61. This is the 5th truck I've imported in several years and typically paid 2 or 2.5% duty tax to US Border and Customs. Today I stopped at the customs office before crossing into Canada to verify some paper work. The officer asked where the vehicle is from and I stated Canada. He then asked where was it made. When I told him it's a Toyota he informed me the duty tax is now 25% due to Trumps import tax changes. I find this hard to believe as I've never heard of this and believe it would pretty much kill the importing of Landcruisers regardless of where they are from. I asked him to research this with his supervisor to verify. I've done some research as well and all I can find is 2.5% for cars and 25% for trucks (I assume heavy duty). Nowhere does it say on the federal gov sites that all Japanese manufactured vehicles are hit with 25%. Has anyone else dealt with this in recent years? I did my last one 2.5 years ago which came direct from Japan. @SteveJackson curious what you know about this.
Thanks you,
Jimmy
