<![CDATA[Shipping motorcycle to Canada...any advice?]]>I think I have a buyer for my bike, but he lives about 1500 miles away in Chilliwack, BC Canada. There is no way I'm going to deliver it to him, and he doesn't want to come get it due to the taxes he'll have to pay to get it across the border again. Anybody know of a shipping company that will deliver a motorcycle from US to Canada?

It would get you around some red tape because it's not a complete vehicle. Imagine the look on the buyer's face when he receives a huge box full of parts!

So therefore; if it's made in US it wouldn't have fees?
But maybe motor vehicles are a diff. situation.

Oh well, I think I have another buyer anyway. Thanks for the replies.

If he doesn't wanna pay then you'll need to find another buyer. Thats the trouble with importation of almost anything. All shipping companies are going to charge duties (from what I remember).

I'd be surprised if you were able to get it across the border in a crate. The only way you MIGHT be able to get around it is to drive there and drop it off yourself and let him deal with importation fees. (at least this is my guess)
