JDM Importer for Vancouver

Canada's 15-year rule makes Vancouver one of the best JDM destinations in North America — a decade more eligible metal than across the border. Your car ships from Auckland into the Port of Vancouver and clears with your broker there.

Importify Cars is a New Zealand vehicle exporter — we source, verify and ship Japanese performance cars from the deepest JDM pool outside Japan to buyers across Canada. New Zealand imported Japan's best for thirty years: Skyline GT-Rs, Supras, RX-7s, Evos and Type Rs with English-language ownership history, NZTA odometer records, and the option of a physical inspection before you commit — none of which a Japanese auction grade sheet gives you.

Importing to Canada: what to know

  • Vehicles 15 years or older are exempt from Canada's RIV program and CMVSS compliance — R32/R33/R34 GT-Rs, Mk4 Supras, FD RX-7s and Evos are all comfortably eligible.
  • Right-hand drive is legal to import federally at 15-plus years; provincial registration rules vary, so check your province before you commit.
  • Budget for import duty on Japanese-built vehicles plus 5% GST at the border and your provincial tax at registration — your customs broker files the entry.
  • English-language NZ ownership and service documentation ships with the car — no translation step.
