7. Importing a Vehicle or Engine

Only vehicles and engines that comply with the planned regulations will be eligible for importation. Any person importing a vehicle or engine will have to submit a declaration at a customs office. For a company importing a vehicle or engine, the information to be provided will be similar to that given in section 19(1) of the Off-Road Small Spark-Ignition Engine Emission Regulations. For a person who is not a company importing a vehicle or engine, the information to be provided will also be similar to that given to section 19(1) of the Off-Road Small Spark-Ignition Engine Emission Regulations, except for a statement that the engine bears a national emissions mark, either an EPA emissions label or California Air Resources Board label indicating that the engine conformed to the applicable emissions standards at the time of its manufacture, or a statement from the manufacturer that the vehicle or engine conformed to the applicable Canadian standards at the time of its manufacture.

Any company that imports 500 or more prescribed vehicles or engines in a calendar year may provide the information required via a bulk declaration rather than a declaration at a customs office.
