[JAGNUTS] Help needed

[Andrew Martens]

Imports from other than the US are a different game altogether. I have not
found sufficient info online about the rules and limitations on non-US
imports other than "contact Transport Canada", so I would advise contacting
the Regina customs office, and Transport Canada - see para 19 in the
following link.

You can refer to http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/E/pub/cm/d9-1-11/d9-1-11-e.html esp.
paragraphs 25 and 34.  for a start.

It would not appear to be best to use the "parts car" route for a car that
will be put on the road.
