Import Tips

• Clearly demonstrate that the vehicle is modified for performance use, not for road transport, to avoid classification as a motor vehicle under Section XVII

• Provide photos and a description of its circus-specific modifications, such as oversized doors or comedic design

• Check with the CBSA whether the vehicle requires any import permits as a used vehicle, even if for entertainment
