So now I'm back ashore, and scrambling to find out what my costs are going to be for the import (12% taxes on my US-built boat), insurance, registration, etc. Anyone done this before? |
Hey Amgine- are the 12% taxes you are referring to a duty or tariff? I thought NAFTA applies since your boat was built in the U.S.? I didn't have to pay any taxes other than sales tax on my boat since I was buying a US-built boat (in N. Vancouver).
