Canada border crossing with quads?????

[cdalejef]

I need some quick help!
Has anyone on here gone across the canadian border with quads? I am going to be crossing the boder on monday but I don't have paper work on 2 of the quads. Has anyone been checked and did they ask you for proof of ownership?

thanks,

Just get ma green smocks across and don't worry about the POS quads....:mad:

[Pappy]

call customs ....best i can tell ya:(

[MOFO]

Sorry I cant be of any help either, but I would think you need the papers... they might not ask for them, but if you get a jackass border guy, they might want to know ownership.... I do some dig'n

[flyin#5]

where are you crossing? when we went on our fishing trip (on the way back to the us) the guy asked us if we bought any beer there. we said "no" and he said "why not? you should have its super cheap up there" lol. next time we will probaby come back with a truck full of beer:blah:

Here is some information I dug up...



entering into Canada (http://www.necromantic.net/deadparrot/border01.html#enter)

Information about taking a race car into Canada (http://www.grandbendmotorplex.com/trackinfo/customs.htm)


Here is an article I found that should answer your questions though.... its about race teams and their equipment. This might be an overkill... you may just drive on through....




CROSSING THE CANADIAN BORDER

Crossing into Canada is not something that race teams should fear. The Canadian government is merely asking you to ensure that all of the race equipment you bring to Canada is taken with you as you leave.

As an assurance to the government, Mosport Park has posted a bond on which race teams from the United States can enter Canada if they are racing at Mosport. The following procedures will ensure speedy passage across the border into Canada :

1. Prepare a typed inventory of your racing equipment. This inventory should include all large items individually. It is not usually necessary to list each bolt and nut separately, however. We also suggest that you have this list notarized, or stamped at US Customs as you leave the U.S.A. to ease your re-entry to the United States .

2. When you arrive at Canada Customs, ask to fill out an E29B permit. Fill out the permit as completely as possible. The Customs agents will assist you if you need help. The Canada Customs Bond (Copy attached) is with The CGU Insurance Company of Canada . The Bond No. is 25022-98. Your inventory list will be attached to the E29B permit. Please note that the Customs Bond issued through General Accident allows for the temporary importation of goods to Canada . This bond is a continuous bond, which is effective from the issue date of May 1, 2002 thru May 1, 2003 .

3. This is the most important step. When leaving Canada , go to Canada Customs and ask to have the permits cancelled AND keep the stamped copy as a record that you’ve taken all of your equipment back to the United States .

4. All persons entering Canada should have a birth certificate, or passport to prove your nationality. If you are bringing pets with you, be sure to have current documented proof of a rabies vaccination.

If you have additional questions about border crossings, contact the Mosport Park office at (905) 983-9141.

The following information may also assist with your temporary importing of race equipment to Canada . The Canadian Government authorizes race teams to import racecars and equipment into Canada by non-residents to participate in racing events. These activities are authorized under the provisions of Customs memoranda D8-1-1 Temporary Importation (tariff item 9993.00.00) Regulations. Also the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is entitled to a full relief under special authority codes 38-089Z1663 and 41-089Z1663.

Code 38 allows the importation of cars and other conveyances and repair parts and repair equipment therefor: all of the foregoing when used in racing.

Code 41 allows for non-resident teams or athletes or their support personnel to import athletic equipment and apparel and training or other equipment of their use in connection with professional or organized amateur sports activities, but excluding goods provided for under item 38.

MMMMMMMMM that chit is good!!!!

[Rocketman250r]

All I can say is check your insurance. We went on a trip to Canada about a year ago. Didn't have any problems getting across the boarder, crossed at Detroit. First night there, our truck, trailer, and the four atv's were stolen from the hotel parking lot. Not a good experiance. Truck and trailer were dumped, all they wanted was the atv's. All four of us had different insurance companys, none of them covered us while we were in Canada. So we all lost out big.

[cdalejef]

Yikes....was the trailer locked to the truck?

[Rocketman250r]

One four wheeler in the back of the truck, three on the trailer. Guess it was easier to steal it, and unload it at the spot of there chosing, then in the hotel parking lot.
Like I said, check your insurance, you may find out you have no coverage outside the US.

Molson beer is GARBAGE
you need Keiths!!!!
So jeff ur comin to visit me huh?

[cdalejef]

Ya, leave the ligh on!

[Rip_Tear]

I would definately make sure you have ownership papers, or proof of sale! Otherwise your ATV's aren't comming over.... I asked about this before, when I was going to get and ATV from the states with no owner ship...

By the way you guys are funny... I got a fridge full of canadian beer down stairs, not a wussy bar fridge either, a regular sized one.... Just beause your beer is like water! LMAO Doesn't mean you have to take ours away!

Where are you going Jeff? Come visit me too, my shed could use a few more ATV's in it!

[nacs400ex]

I have a fridge full of beer too. Canadian beer.... Yeah thats what I am talking about LOL. DEAL Keiths is pretty good, I have gotten used to molson canadian, so now I am hooked. But As long as my beers cold I dont complain. That would be strange if your beer was weak then you come up here and its stronger. Oh well, what can I say we are lucky. Can you guys return your bottles and cans too ? I can get 10 cents a peice here.

my normal beer is 5%...but when you drink 12-14 of them in a 6-7 hour period, that extra 2-3% really kicks in... and I'm talking about Triple X... not your normal beer. Trust me, Triple X is not the best tasting, but it gets the job done. When you get some hair on your chest, you'll know what I'm sayin.... :D

[Quad18star]

Jeff , where abouts in Canada are you comming??? Best thing I can tell you about crossing the border is that you declare the bikes before you cross into Canada . Stop in at customs and ask them for a declaration slip , write down the VIN #'s of the bikes . That way , when you come back across , they wont nail you for stealing or for taxes. That's my best suggestion . And that Triple XXX beer is nasty tasting but it'll get you smashed pretty quick and to a point where you'll black out and pass out . I'm used to drinking 12 - 14 Molson Canadians, give me 5 Triple XXX and i'm wasted . Try Keith's or some Moosehead . Good stuff .

Hello:

Crossing into Canada isn't bad. We've done it many times, and I've never had any paperwork. I like the idea of getting some official document on the way over however. The Canadian border people are usually pretty nice, and they just ask a few questions like where you are going, how long you intend to stay, and that's about it. They also ask if you have any guns, so if you do, don't try to bring them over. They get upset about that, and don't screw with them. They are nice, but they take the job seriously.. It's about as easy as driving into Ohio. It's usually harder getting back into this country. Sometimes OUR border guard can be the prick! They want to know what you bought, and how long you have been gone. Only once did any of them comment that it would be helpfull to have some paperwork on the quad in case I "stole" it in Canada. Hey border A--hole, you can buy them cheaper in Canada because of the stronger dollar. There is no point in "stealing" one. Here's a story for you though.

John Pellan (The race promoter) was traveling to the Pontiac Silverdome for a stadium race a couple years ago. Along with him was Mathew Coulter, the quad jumping record holder. John lives in Ohio, and Mathew was staying with him for the summer as Mathew had many stunts lined up in the states. The night before the race they decided to go to Canada for "entertainment." (There's lots of it across from Detroit too) THen the trouble began.... Unfortunately, when they crossed the border they could not get into Canada because Matt is Australian and did not have his visa travel permit. THen they turned around to come home. Now he could not get back into the US either, because it was left at Johns house in Ohio. They were stuck between the borders, and the border guards began to get curious, and suspect the worst. When they looked inside Johns van they found blood all over. The night before they had taken home one of their friends who smacked herself on the door corner and had been bleeding everywhere for a couple minutes. Now the border people were reallly concerned, and basically they took Johns van apart until they were convinced the whole situation was OK. After that they were allowed back into the US. ALso, my cousin decided it would be fun to skip a day of school and drive into Canada with his friend who happened to be an exchange student. It was going great right up until they had to come back home. The exchange student couldn't get back because HIS visa was at the house. My cousin ended up driving 3 hours home, getting the vise, and then 3 hours back to the border to get his buddy. It made for a long day. True story!

[Pappy]

lol....talk about a bad day!!!!

[DEAL]

Molson Blah!!
:mad:

Keiths,Bud,Blue,labatt 50,wildcat,schooner (I don't know if you get that in your part of canada), olands export, and some others I'm probably forgetting.

I'm goin across the border next summer with my quad. So I better not have any trouble getting across.

[cdalejef]

[400exBro]

[400exBro]

my family is over there... Grandma , grandpa etc... my parents moved to Canada a while back so we go every 2-4 years and vist them...i have been probably 5-6 times over there now.. i am about 2-3 hours from Munich with car... isn't to bad of a drive, plus one of my unlces lives just out side of Munich...

[Quad18star]

Jeff , call customs and explain to them the situation and see what they tell you to bring . It would be a real kick in the nads if you get to the border and they make you turn around cuz you don't have the proper documents . Better to be safe , than sorry , not to mention pi$$ed off.

[bigbadbrad]

we have never had any problems crossing quads into the us from canada, that is where we bought both of ours. Jeff while you are in quebec go to mon'capen, lots of strip joints and bars. Quebec is only a couple of hours from me, legal drinking age is 18, but any one can get in.

[cdalejef]

We made it back and forth just fine. Actually the guy coming back to the US was asking all kinds of questions about what mods we had done to our quads. :D

thanks for all the help!

[daiglea]

If you are going to Canada Jeff Try La fin du monde. It's made in quebec and it's something like 12% that stuff rocks you world. It will make you forget about that triple X and probably the way home so watch tou.:devil:

[JLanphear]

I live right near the Quebec border...I shoulda read this post earlier cause you coulda stopped off for some riding.

Do you remember the town in NY where you crossed?
