Canada Update
New Import Procedure Working Well

 

 

June 2005 Update:

Sometimes hard work and good faith pays off indeed!  The good news is that since the new agreement was reached with Transport Canada, FFR customers have had no problems whatsoever importing chassis kits into the country.  Following the implementation of a new procedure and agreement with Transport Canada this past March (see Canada Agreement story March 2005) , FFR kits have achieved a 100% acceptance rate into the country.  Since this Spring there has not been a single glitch in the new system and we are really happy to report that customers are finding importation into Canada to be straightforward and easy.

 

The entire team here at Factory Five Racing, Inc. would like to thank the hard work of Harry Baergen and Sylvain Lalime at TC as well as the many dedicated Canadian customers and builders who helped accomplish this effort. 

 

We will continue to follow the guidelines laid down by Transport Canada to the letter and expect nothing but clear sailing ahead for our Canadian customers.  If you have any questions about the Canadian procedure or the specifics of importing a FFR kit, please call us directly at 508-291-3443. 

 

If you would rather deal directly with a Canadian company, and have someone else coordinate ALL of the importation work, we are working closely with Al Beix .  He has done an outstanding job of helping folks with their kit orders.  Call Al at 604-531-0375 or visit his website

 

We are currently working on an exact same procedure for the Type 65 Coupe and Spyder GT kits.  While many of these kits have been imported successfully, we are working on developing the same procedure to make them as easy and simple as the roadsters.
