Import a Jaguar from the US

If you are planning to import a Jaguar vehicle from the US, please note the following information:

1. All 2003 to 2008 models are admissible to Canada and may be imported. A separate Letter of Admissibility is not required.

2. A Recall Clearance Letter can be obtained by contacting your local dealership in Canada. To find your nearest dealer, Click Here

3. Modifications required for Jaguar vehicles may be costly and you are urged to contact your local dealership with the VIN of your proposed import. They will be able to give you an estimate of the costs you can expect to pay to make your vehicle Canadian Safety Standard compliant.

4. When the modifications are completed, Jaguar will issue a Letter of Compliance. This Letter of Compliance will enable the release of Form 2 from RIV and allow you to complete your inspections and registration. All steps are detailed in the UCanImport guide

If anyone would like to share their Jaguar importing experiences, please post them here. We encourage you to share costs, nature of mods required, satisfaction with dealership service and any other points of interest.

Jaguar and Land Rover Vehicles Imported from the US require Admissibility and Recall Completion Letters

From the RIV website:

If you are importing a 1992-2008 Jaguar or a 2008 Land Rover you must contact an authorized Jaguar Canada dealership to determine the exact nature and costs of all modifications.

All modifications MUST be performed by an authorized Jaguar Canada dealership. When required modifications and any outstanding recalls have been completed, your local Jaguar dealer will provide you with an official Jaguar Canada vehicle admissibility and recall completion letter.

RIV fails to state if this is also the case with 2007 and earlier models for Land Rover, but we believe that the same rules will apply the moment RIV notices this oversight.
