USA Clients
I am from the USA, can I still buy a Mint Tiny House RV?
Absolutely! We can use a third party delivery company to bring your Tiny House RV to you; no matter where you are in Canada and the USA.
Do you deliver to the USA?
Yes, we do! In fact our Tiny House RVs can be delivered anywhere across Canada and the United States. There is a $700 border documentation fee for import of the tiny home through customs.
Do I have to pay the $700 border documentation fee?
The fee is for a broker to import the tiny house RV into the USA. They ensure all the paperwork ahead of time, and arrange for smooth sailing through the customs import process. This fee is mandatory if we are arranging delivery for you. If you are transporting the RV across the border yourself, you are more than welcome to waive the fee and arrange the paperwork yourselves.
Is there any duty to be paid on the tiny home going to the USA?
No, however your local State may require that you pay Usage tax on the value of the tiny house RV. This is done with your local road insurance company, and the amount of tax due is based on your local State’s Usage tax rate.
How does pricing work for US buyers
Quite simple, all our prices are in Canadian dollars, so the price is fixed purely on the exchange rate at point of purchase/payment.
