I need a tub and a few other parts, maybe I will gauge interest in starting a groupe buy??

The bad part is if it goes through the states I will pay another tax on the parts coming into Canada..

Hi Rob,
You would only pay additional duties on parts coming through the USA if they were actually imported into the USA, and then exported to you. If done correctly, it is possible to ship goods THROUGH the USA to you without ever paying any duties in the USA. It's called a trans-shipment, and yes you usually here people refer to a trans-shipment when they are speaking of illegally shipping from a non-originating country, but if you declare everything correctly it is easy to legally trans-ship anything.
The key would be to set up two sets of docs for the shipment, once set listing all goods to the USA & a USA importer of record, the other with all Canadian bound goods, listing the Canadian IOR, etc... Then ship the container on IT (Immediate Transit, meaning the goods say in-bond & don't get, "imported" yet). Once they get to their destination in the USA, the container is popped open, the USA goods are pulled & imported, and your goods continue on in-bond (most likely LTL at this point, instead of still in the container), to you. It isn't that complicated actually, it just needs to be set up correctly in the beginning of the shipment. I can help if you like.
Best,
Abe
 
Paul has moved from Panama ....he now resides in costa rica
 
new bibs,window frames and some tubs.

new steel tubs , new window frames and bibs.
Will be organizing a group buy In January.
If your really interested in getting a tub or any other parts please email me info@toyotona.com
Really would like to get this on the water by late March, if we can get one container to a place where you guys can come pick up the tubs individually we´ll save about $400 on each tub. they can be hard wired in the container for safety.
Food for thought over the Christmas period.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Im up for it. Just went to Costa Rica and have a friend in the export business. Would like to get a shipment to the port of Houston. 20-40 foot container. MIke
 
Is Paul still in business?I went today to Vargas Arays and found his shop but the mechanics there told me he left a while ago?I realy wanted to check those sweet parts out:(

Anybody knows if he just changed adress or stopped this?
 
Pictures at the beginning of the post appear to be from a shop in San Jose I visited over 8 years ago. I bought some 40 door skins there. The tubs along with many other parts were being made there well before the shop was "discovered" and the tubs appeared in this thread and elsewhere.

I see CCOT selling "Pilgrim" tubs and body panels now.
Maybe CCOT is buying direct and the only ones exporting to the US now??
 
Paul has to our our cruisers that he was supposed to be shipping back to the US for us. We have been waiting since June of 2011.

He also sold a tub to a customer that is shipping his tub in our container. He has been waiting 7 months for his tub.

Its seems that Paul has stopped all communication with.

I would caution you on spending any money with Paul Pilgrim.
