Nothing on top of the sale price that you give to Allen. I’m not sure if he has to charge GST on top of their vehicles or not, but after you’ve purchased the vehicle theres nothing else you need to worry about.

I believe the price Allen charges is “landed” meaning, you pay the price he quotes. To pick up the car in Alberta.

You’ll still need your OOP etc, but I don’t believe World Car Link adds on any hidden costs.

If you are getting it landed that SHOULD include everything. Check with Allen.

Here is how it is done:

Purchase price in Japan x 6.1% (this is duty)

Take this new total and x 7% (GST)

Take this new total and add $100 if it has air conditioning (excises tax)

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency will also charge a fee to make sure your car doesn’t have any foreign bugs on it = $47 bucks last time I checked.

Here is a sample:

Purchase Price in Japan $10,881.74 (converted obviously to Canadian dollars)  
Duty (purchase price x 6.1%) $663.79  
GST (purchase price + duty) x 7% $808.19  
Excise Tax $100.00  
Canadian Food Inspection Agency Fee $47.00

Thanks for the fine example. All we need is a shipping price.

Allen ships landed… and NORMALLY his price will be shipped to your door. but he is the best person to ask about that.
