Carsonexports : We sell primariliy to car dealers / import companies in overseas markets, but we also sell to private buyers within Canada. Our Canadian retail and wholesale operations deal mostly in vehicles we import from the USA to Canada, and commercial vehicles, vans and trucks as well as "mini trucks" from Japan. Our overseas sales are mainly to car dealers that specialize in the import / sale of vehicles from North America.

Carsonexports: Currently, we send vehicles on a regular basis to Europe and Asia. In total, we have sold vehicles to customers in over 20 countries.

Carsonexports: Carson Leasing / Exports has been incorporated since 1987. Our current staff has a combined 120 years in the automotive industry

We are members of the NAATA and AASA , a fully lisenced motor vehicle dealer , and work closely with EDC and NSBI to expand our business and markets.
In 2010 we finished 2nd overall in the NSBI exporter of the year awards (all business sectors combined) .

Carsonexports: What may set us apart from a lot of exporting dealers in North America, is our friendly phone and prompt  email service. We put our customers above all else, and always dedicate a lot of time on the phone to each individual. We also are available by email 24/7 for all vehicle requests and issues that may arise.  During the purchase of any vehicle (s), the dealer or private buyer will receive a extensive group of photos of each car upon delivery to us, and again on our delivery to the Halifax Dock for shipment. All documents pertaining to each vehicle are promptly shipped by courier to the customer. Our vehicles are always shipped clean and flawless thanks to our detailing department. We also have extremely a carefull and considerate container loading crew - they will not damage your cars when loading them in containers, and take special care entering and existing the vehicles 
Many of our current overseas customers are lifetime customers, dealing with us for over 10 years for many of the reasons above.

Carsonexports: ALL of our vehicles are shipped from the port of Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. One of the largest seaports in Canada, also the geographically nearest major seaport to western Europe. This being the case, transit times to much of Europe, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Gothenburg and others, are only 8-10 days. Shipping to Asia / Australia ranges from 20 to 35 days. Please enquire for shipping rates and transit times to your location . Additional time may be required should we need to transport your vehicle(s) to Halifax from another part of North America.

Carsonexports: NO NO NO. We are fully HST/GST/PST licensed and NEVER charge any customer overseas, retail or dealer, the Canadian taxes on vehicle or parts purchases. If you attempt to buy from a US dealer or franchise dealer, in most cases they will charge you between 5-10% sales tax. The headaches of re-claiming the tax are HUGE and can take a very long time to be resolved. Our customers never have to worry about North American sales taxes.

Carsonexports: We buy / supply the vehicle, install or add parts/accessories when required, clean and detail the vehicle, and perform any mechanical repairs we see fit before shipment. Carsonexports then delivers your vehicle(s) to a container loading yard or the port of Halifax(if vehicles are shipping RORO) . We handle all Canadian export documentation, container booking , and bills of lading. All you have to do is collect the cargo when it arrives at a port near you.

Carsonexports: All vehicles we sell come with clean Canadian or US titles. In the case of new vehicles, we can provide the MSO / NVIS if required. We can offer carproof verification, and carfax guarantee's on every used vehicle we sell. In most cases we can provide detailed service history/invoices/work orders, for all used vehicles sold.
