Version 5 of Comprehensive Car Importing Guide Now Available

Victoria, British Columbia - UCanImport Publications is pleased to announced that Version 5 of its best-selling guide, "Importing Cars from the U.S. into Canada" is now available for purchase and download.

"As many of our readers already know, our aim is to treat this publication as a living document," states Zabin Somani, General Manager of UCanImport Publications. "Changes to importation rules, expanded information, and new money-saving tips are incorporated regularly into our step-by-step guide, so that it is always valid and timely for your importation."

"When you purchase and download our guide for only $9.99, in essence you become a "subscriber" - as you will continue to receive all newly revised editions FREE! It's our way of promoting what we believe - that we exist to empower Canadians to make an informed choice when it comes to sourcing their next new or pre-owned vehicle."

"In return, we hope that you will spread the word and encourage your friends, family, and business associates to also purchase our informative guide - should they also wish to investigate the potentially large savings that can be realized by importing their next vehicle from the United States."

As future importers get ready to purchase a vehicle in the US, they should also review the UCanImport.com web site. There is now a UCanImport Blog available with a wealth of information on various importing topics, as well as experiences from recent fellow importers. The site also hosts a small but growing list of "Canadian-friendly" US-based auto brokers and dealers that are more than happy to discuss vehicle requirements.

"And remember," continues Ms. Somani. "If you need any help getting your importation documents organized or researching into any aspect of the importation process, we are there to lend you a helping hand."
