Importing TT from the States?

Re: Importing TT from the States?

Inspections are generally done at Canadian Tire as they seem to have gotten the contract so I dont think they are hard to pass. I do think the Canadian TT has different bumpers so be careful of that one

2000
TT COUPE **> (SEE NOTES)
2001 TO 2006
TT COUPE, TT ROADSTER**

Yep that is the case, I just checked RIV on it.
1) The two asterisks (**) indicate that the vehicle in question is admissible for importation but will require modifications to
the existing bumper(s) before the vehicle can be registered and licensed. Some vehicles can be readily modified by
substituting Canadian parts for the US parts. Some vehicles cannot be readily modified and may require comprehensive
and expensive modifications as well as a bumper test, as stated in CMVSS 215, to determine compliance with the
Canadian standard

VW OF AMERICA INFORMS US THAT
SOME 2000 TT MODELS REQUIRE
CHANGING THE SEAT BACK FOR TETHER
ANCHORAGE MODIFICATIONS. IMPORTER
SHOULD VERIFY WITH VW OF AMERICA.
BEFORE BRINGING VEHICLE TO CANADA.
THE MODIFICATION MAY BE EXPENSIVE.

If you don't mind me asking where did you find that info? It seems that they are stating that any 2001+ coupe's don't need bumper modification.

To me it looks like all the TTs need bumpers for all years as both have double asterisks.

Canadian Ones have bulge outs on front and back while US and Euros do not. They do look much better so if you could find a way to pass then change back would be best

The "See Notes" is actually for the SEATBELT tethers.
The double asterisk means it DOES need bumper mods.

Again, everything you need to check into is in that thread on beyond, it is the first time I have seen a guide of its kind (I have looked into bringing a Benzo from the states a couple years ago and couldn't find anything like it...took me tons of hours of research to get all the info I needed).
