That they do!!!

So...here is the simple form you need to fill out for the refund...

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/b2g.pdf

You check the "C" that the goods were incorrectly classified. Now for actual vehicles over 25 years (and believe it would be the same for parts for 25 year old cars) the code is 9966.00.00.

Make a copy of your custom forms and send in the original. Someplace you will obviously need to be able to show the engine is from a 25 year old vehicle of course.

Thanks again, I'll post the out come for future importers. Philip

OK guys, my 3.4 has arrived. No problems, quick delivery. It was picked up in Fla. on Wed. and I had it here in On. the next Mon. Very easy transaction. Saved a ton on declared value/duty. It was well worth the $80 cost of the customs broker, vs having to pick it up at the UPS store, and bring across the boarder myself. cheers Philip

Hearsay until we see some pics...

Pics are on the way. I resealed the crate to go to the shop for installation, but have been informed it's a no go. I guess I may have to find time to do it myself. Of course I may need some help from the board. Philip

Philip, just post for help and I'm sure you'll get it - beer and pizza is a good modivator as well. Is this a stock motor? Take a bunch of pic's if you do it yorself cause I'm going to be dropping my 3.3 in the 87 sometime and have never done it so I'd be real interested in seeing and hearing about the job.
Where in Ont. are you?

Well guys, I received the invoice/receipt from the customs broker for duties paid. The damage wasn't too bad. GST @14 % on the whole declared value, and duty only on the block (6%), as loose parts were claimed under NAFTA. So around $200 in duties for the amount I claimed, which is a drop in the bucket. So total cost at the toll booth was just over 20 % of declared value, including brokerage fee. Hope this helps others calculate there costs. I'm on the fence about reclaiming duty, but may try as principle. Philip

Should be HST @ 13%... Unless the broker decided he needed another 1% profit.

[philip j]

pick that up. It's all done in GST on the invoice, with the exception of $14 HST !
