Unfortunately I don't have any specific information for you, but ti sounds like a few other posters can help you out.
The fees and taxes are minimal considering the savings you can gain.

I believe there is a general RIV fee, an a/c excise fee, and GST (which you would pay on any vehicle you purchase at a dealer here anyways)

All these fees have to be paid at the border crossing when bringing the vehicle across.

But if you do your research you should still be way ahead of the game when it comes to total costs.

I saved $5000 on importing a travel trailer back when we had a 85cent dollar. I cant imagine how much a person could save now considering the strength of our dollar.
