How much does it cost to import a JDM car to Canada?

BLI packages start at $1,100 CAD with no commission. Total landed cost depends on auction price, freight, GST, and your package. Use the landed cost calculator for an estimate, or read the JDM import cost Canada guide.

What is Canada's 15 year import rule for JDM vehicles?

Most passenger vehicles must be at least 15 years old from manufacture date to enter Canada outside the full RIV process. Confirm eligibility before bidding. See our 15 year rule Canada guide for details.

Can you import a Nissan Skyline or Toyota Supra to Canada?

Yes, when the chassis meets federal eligibility. BLI sources Skylines, Supras, Evos, kei trucks, and more through Japan auction access with inspection before purchase.

Do you deliver JDM imports to Vancouver and across Canada?

Yes. Vehicles land through Vancouver and can be delivered Canada-wide. Standard is port pickup, with tow and delivery coordination available as extras. Premium includes local delivery within Vancouver; Island ferry/inland is as confirmed in the Premium agreement.

Is there a commission on Japanese auction wins?

No. Beyond Limits Imports charges flat package fees starting at $1,100 CAD and does not take a commission percentage on the auction hammer price.

Kody was very helpful with meeting expectations. Being a first-time buyer of something that’s overseas can be nerve-racking — Kody made it a super simple process and took a lot of stress off when doing so.
Theo J.

Kody, for being a busy man with family, friends and business, gets the job done quickly, efficiently and effectively.
Nikolas A.

Absolutely amazing guy to work with. Importing a car you’ve never seen before can be a scary experience but Kody puts all your worries at ease!
Connar G.

I say this with all honesty, Beyond Limits Imports and Kody are the reason why I went the importing route. You won’t find services like this anywhere. Super kind and friendly, down to earth and easy to talk to. Kody replies very quick (which isn’t the case for 99.9% of importers in BC) and he treats you like a friend, rather than just another client.
Ethan J.

He is the guide to your dream car. The sherpa of JDM imports. What are you waiting for?
Kevin L.

Kody made importing my Lotus seamless. I can’t wait until it arrives.
