AUCTION PAYMENT TERMS
So that sellers can sell their items for much less money, we are no longer

There is a 10% buyer's premium added to all purchases.
There are NO additional fees charged for purchases paid by credit cards.

A SPECIAL WELCOME TO OUR
CANADIAN BUYERS
It's a GREAT TIME to be buying in the United States with the current exchange rate!!
We are pleased to welcome you to our auctions.
We can store your purchases inside our facility for up to 12 days if you wish.
To buy snowmobiles here at the auction and transport them across the border,
here is what Canadian buyers from previous auctions this year have told us they do---
(all the buyers we have talked to have crossed at Port Huron, Michigan--
we assume this information is valid for the other entry points, too)
When they have bought snowmobiles at the auction,
they said they go directly to the Canadian Customs at the border.
The Canadian buyers said as long as you buy a snowmobile here with a registration,
and you have the White Star Auction buyer invoice, they said you should NOT go into the
U.S. Customs line for "titled vehicles"---that line is only for vehicles with TITLES.
That simplifies the process for you.
You will pay your Canadian fees at the Canadian Customs and head home!
If you buy an item with a TITLE (for example, a 4 wheeler ATV, a street bike, car, truck)
they said you need to submit copies of your invoice and title to
the U.S. Customs office where you will cross at least 72 hours prior
to your crossing the border. Since the item has a title, you will need to get into
the line on the US Customs side marked for "titles vehicles".
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
If you need information about Canadian Border Customs requirements, you can call
the Canadian Border Services Agency at: (English) -- 1- 800- 461- 9999 or
(French) -- 1 - 800 - 959 - 2036
or visit them at www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca
For U.S. Customs requirements, visit www.customs.gov
or contact the port crossing directly at the location where you will
you will crossing into Canada---for example, Port Huron, Detroit, etc.....
* When you come to our auction, you will want to buy only those snowmobiles or ATVs that have a state registration -or- Certificate of Origin -or- a title. You must have one of these documents along with the White Star Auction "bill of sale" in order to get across the border.
The items in the auction are tagged with this information, so you will know during inspection
which items come with the required documents.
We can REFUND the 6% Michigan sales tax you pay
if you fax a copy of all your "export/import" papers you receive from the Canadian Customs,
along with a copy of your White Star Auction buyer's invoice.
Do this within 5 days of the auction for a refund. Fax number 517-369-2024.
Your refund check will be mailed to you within 5 days.
