I know this was posted a year ago but for anyone else searching the same, I just went through the tedious process of Importing a car gifted from BC to Texas (if you're going through the import process, details below). BC/Canada doesn't do Vehicle Titles, their version is called Confirmation of Ownership. You/owner has to call ICBC and request a stamped copy be emailed and mailed to you. If you're not the owner, three-way call with the owner to authorize, or have owner call to make the request. To reach the right ICBC human who can make magic happen -----------> Call 604-661-2800, press 6,press 4, then press 1, request the letter and ta-da... ---- Below my detailed process regarding Import of personal vehicle from Canada to US (for anyone in similar situation as me). Hope it helps... This process was simplest for me, and solely based off my own painful experience importing a non-commercial vehicle from Canada to the US... If you plan to have you or the owner of car drive it through customs to avoid shipping costs and you're confused about the entire process and forms/documents, do yourself a favor if you can afford it, (can cost $1000+ detailed below) and do it all virtually by googling a Vehicle Customs Broker in the state you're planning to register it (they'll know all the right forms needed for registration in that state). You can find a broker before or after the car is already in your state (I did it after the car was driven to me). Only hassle is finding the right Vehicle Customs Broker so expect to call many. Some will tell you it can't be done online without a PAPS number, this is not true, and most others only import commercial cars or shipped cars, so keep looking-- the right one does exist! You can look for legit licensed brokers on official CBP (Customs and Border Protection) gov site. I called several off this list and only found one, Omega CHB, that said they could it online but only for Cali residents. Called a few in Texas via my own google searches but they were quoting me several thousands! Finally found a gem in Texas-- Patrick from Patrick Vasquez Customs Broker based out of San Antonio. Let me tell you!!! Patrick is the nicest and most efficient person and in about a week I got all my forms mailed to me. Their office only accepts cash (venmo etc) and will need you to sign a Custom's Power of Attorney so don't be alarmed by this but make sure the broker is legit! Aside from all the confusion with the necessary forms and documents, every Customs agent will give you different info which adds to the confusion. In my case, the owner of the car being gifted to me (family) drove the car from BC to TX and planned to import it at the US-Canada border, but were told I needed to be there. Agent said we could both drive to Mexico border and import car there (huh?), so they let the owner drive through normally, and the plan was to eventually drive to Mexico together (ugh). To be sure the Mexico trip wasn't going to be a waste, I called Mexico border and was told by Customs that I didn't have to drive to Mexico and instead could go to any CBP Port of Entry to import the car (turned out to be not true). Found the right Port in my city, close to our International Airport and when I went there, they said they couldn't clear the car without a specific Customs ID Number, and told me to find a broker. I experienced so many fml moments that I felt obligated to type out this long message. Broker fee $600, mandatory Customs Bond $300. Unless the car was manufactured inside the US which is probably not the case, expect to pay duty tax based off the current value of the car, they say Kelly Blue Book, but my broker found a better value than I was able to find so the tax was around $380 for a BMW. Total close to $1300. For me, this was money very well spent. I didn't have to do anything other than fill out the forms he emailed, and provide him with my IDs and other documents he needed. Took less than a week to get cleared and I received all final documents via email and physical copies mailed. Now in the process of Registering in Texas and finding out that the VIN inspection needed and can only be done at a Sheriffs department has a wait list that's about 5-6 weeks out (fun times).
