Import Tips
• Ensure the van's cargo area is designed primarily for goods transport and not passenger accommodation, which would change classification
• Verify the GVW in metric tonnes on all import documents to avoid discrepancies with CBSA
• Check if the vehicle qualifies for any duty relief programs, such as the Importers' Duty Relief Program, if the vehicle will be exported after temporary use
