Just brought my M3 back from Europe. It was a diplomatic delivery (not tourist). Canadian spec car. Drove it there for three years. Shipped it here with the rest of my stuff.
On arrival I took the bill of lading, a photo of the door plate with the Transport Canada sticker, a photo of the odometer and a copy of the bill of sale (I had bought from a Canadian dealer so it was a Canadian bill of sale).
Customs cleared it with no problems, no RIV as it was a Canadian spec vehicle. Paid duty at 6.1% and GST on depreciated value less $10,000. Returned to the shipping co and they released the car and my other stuff.
Drove the car for a safety and e-test. Then to Service Ontario for plates.
Relatively painless
