Purchasing a Polaris From the US

What are RIV fees? What does RIV stand for? Probably a dumb question.

All trailers even a log spliter have to go through the RIV program, $207 fee plus inspection from Canadian tire. Which is making sure it has all the lights, signal, brake and marker in the right place. As for vehicles RIV will tell you under the modifications section, mostly day time running lights and speedometer in Kph. But find out before you import. 2006 corvette needs new bumper $1800 as an example. Its kind of confusing process but a few phone calls and the right paper work and its a breeze once you go through it once. It's worth looking into. My 2 cents.....or should I say $13000
