Cleared customs price

The overall cost can depend greatly on where the car goes afterwards. Different regions have different tax rates, and the farther from the port, the higher the shipping rates. To keep our quotes consistent, we will always talk in terms of “cleared customs price”.

Some dealers might indicate the “landed price”, and depending on the dealer this might be misleading. There are a number of costs that could come after the car lands, including the port fees, excise tax, GST and our fee. The cleared customs price is a term that better reflects the total of all costs.

When searching for your next JDM vehicle, we can give you an estimated price range for what the vehicle might go for. You would then tell us how much total Canadian dollars you would like to spend to get the car to Vancouver, BC, ready to pick up – and if you win, that is the maximum that you would pay. If we win it for less, you keep the savings!
