Hello everyone,
We did soft landing in 2025 July and declared goods to follow and listed our vehicle CRV and then came back to the USA. We are now permanently relocating to Canada in 2027 and wanted to trade in our current Crv and buy Sienna 2026.
My question is, does CBSA charge surtax of 25% on this vehicle or not ? I am trying to look for this and can’t find anywhere. Only thing I understood is need to drive atleast 6months and pay insurance and no payments must be there which we will do. But the only concern is at the boarder this new Sienna is treated differently from the earlier goods to follow and doesn’t consider as settlers effect and charge 25% and rest of the taxes as usual? Because it is absolutely not possible to find a Sienna in Canada.
Anyone else in similar boat?
