Buying a salvage aircraft and the border

Hi everyone

I`m in Canada and I want to buy a US Zenair salvage aircraft...thats been storm damaged(flipped by the wind from a tie down) but many parts are still viable...welded rudder pedals...ect..

If an aircraft is scrapped...is it still an aircraft?...when I hit the border is the pile of metal going to need a pile of paper work...or do I just call it parts....pay my duties based on bill of sale...

it will be registered under my build number

Thanks

Michael

Should be all that's required? Might have trouble getting in to the US and you will have to Quarantine when you come back?

If it is registered in the US it will need to be deregisted by the owner of record there. If it has no tag all the better. Bring it to the CDN border with bill of sale as salvage and pay tax on that amount. The COVID issue is separate issue you will have to check  .
