ordered hilux from japan,what to do next

[jmika]

Hi, I have a truck on order from japan.
the exporter told me that a broker in vancouver is going to take care of everything. Well I am wondering what that intails. He said all I had to do was pay the duty taxes and brokerage fee. but what will I have to do for registering the truck in ontario?
I would like to fly out and drive it back. The truck has gone through techno toyota japan for full servicing. So are there any forms I need to fill out, can I bring the truck to any ministry of transportation inspection place for a saftey certification or is it a little more involved.
thanks
mika

Sounds like you picked up a SilverPeak vehicle by the way you describe your truck. Those hilux pickups of theirs sure look nice.

You guys that buy first ask questions later have some real balls ...luckily the hilux pickups should need very little to meet safety standards...probably only LHD headlamps and daytime running lights.

In BC you can buy temporary insurance permits for X amount of days. I would assume you could do the same in Ontario, then fly out and drive it back, do any work required, and then go for your inspection.

yeah it is a silver peak hilux.
can't wait.
I realize the situation I put myself in and think how stupid I was, feeling a lot better now though.
I am going to contact transport canada today and will let everyone know waht there response is.
thanks
