Importing car from Canada to USA- Insurance

[mikemccor82 0]

Hello,

I have the paper work from Toyota for import. No issues there. Car is Paid off.

I am planning on importing the car on july 14 and coming back to canada until we move permanently on september 1.

If I import it in july, do i lose my insurance that I have on it? I was planning on cancelling the insurance in september when we finally move.

You should call your insurance and check with them. I was able to keep mine for 30 days I believe (might have been 60) and then I needed to insure it in the US.

You may need to adjust the plans a little bit depending on what the insurance company says.

Not sure what kind of visa you will be entering on, but for me, I could not import my car unless I had activated my visa. That's because they can't import something unless you are in the country. Keep that in mind too. You have a year to import your car when permanently moving (at least with my K-1 I did).

I wouldnt import the car until you do your final move.
