You can't - ICBC aka Insurance Corp. of British Columbia is the govt run insurance and the plating process is all lumped into one package.

You can get cheaper comprehensive and collision coverage. Third party insurers.

Some also act as storage policy if you pull the plates.

I just sold a Softail to a Canadian neighbor. He cant get the bike across the border and has to store it here in the states. The compliance sticker went south somewhere. Where should I direct him in Canada to help ?
The bike is 100% legit, just no sticker. He's going out of his mind.
U.S. dealer is no help
HELP PLEASE !!!!!!!!

Hi Rich,

No sticker - if it is still in the US it would be kind for you to go to either the purchasing dealer or HD and request a Letter of Compliance.

This will be required for the RIV inspection at Canadian Tire.

The border paperwork was done by the dealer. Maybe a fee
And they can help?

The Canadian may need to get a Washington title on the motorcycle and a "trip ticket". As well he can get a rider of insurance from any insurance dealer here in BC.

RIV has a great website , and I hope it can get sorted.

He will have to pay GST at the border, and PST after the RIV inspection when he registers the motorcycle.

Deeley wants a $50 fee for the letter. Claire at Deeley Canada is the importation export. Deeley wants its pound of flesh and will give you the runaround and delay the sticker replacement (letter of compliance) for 15-20 days.

Sorry I can't be more help.

I'm sure for a fee a dealer will help.

Harry
