Submitted by admin on Thu, 12/21/2023 - 23:34

Under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act there is a requirement to report the Model Name and/or Model number as it pertains to trailers.  This is to ensure compliance with the Act as it pertains to recalls.  

When submitting your data to The Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV), please ensure you include the Model Name and/or Model Number.   Indicating “Trailer” in the Model field will no longer be acceptable after January 10th, 2024.  Failure to comply may result in your submission being rejected by RIV/CBSA.

To avoid any delays at the border, please ensure that the Model Name and/or Model Number is indicated.
