Pursuit Available to get from USA!

[SASKFARMER3]

PMRA approved Pursuit to be imported into Canada from USA. Canadian price for 3.3 liter is $1025,00 or better. USA price for 3.6 liter is $690.00 Dah this is a no brainier boys. Now you do have to go online and give crop life Canada some cash roughly .15 cents a liter for recycle fee. But that works out to .54 x 2 = $1.08 a case.
Ha we get pursuit wonder what they chem companies got. Lots were suppose to get approval for spring very very very very few did. Hm makes you wonder.

Is FNA on this?

[SASKFARMER3]

Don't know got a Email from guy at PMRA to check out their website and they have a list of available for import.
But local dealer was out today and had a call from a client of his about Pursuit and FNA.

[SASKFARMER3]

Pursuit 2x1g $486.17 x 2 = 972.34 US or 986.34 This is on Ag chem.com.
How low can we go.

[Hopperbin]

I see your supposed to email them with your usage. They are looking at putting something together.

[SASKFARMER3]

found post for 6.30 an acre so you could make cocktail for under 10 for your peas. Hm and we wonder why were getting screwed.

I paid US 605 for a 3.79 L jug. 3 percent more to use a visa. Costs time and fuel to go get it. I hear FNA is charging 150 per jug to "broker" it. Very easy process so I would do it myself personally. Not as easy to bring back for someone else as you are required to hire a import broker to do the paperwork.I think at a non-commercial crossing they would likely let you across without a broker.

Have to fill out a B3 on the way home, not too hard, but not simple.

Anyone who has questions, ask on this thread. I just went through the process today and am up to speed

[SASKFARMER3]

Full retail dave welcome to my world, glad to see your shopping around total savings on your deal in the thousands. Hm way to go is all I can say.

[Ooofty]

SaskFarmer3, What is your "cocktail" and will it do what oddessy does? Dave4441, If I understand you all you have to do is fill out a B3 form on the way home with the product? I have imported a grain vac and cultivator sweeps and found it to be just filling out a form on the way home.

[dave4441]

No you have to:

Print out a label and application from the GROU PMRA website
Fill out and submit/fax to PMRA. You can bring back one 3.3 L jug per 40 acres of peas. Add up your total L and then divide by 3.79 L as that is the jug size. Go onto the container disposal website and pay for the # of L of jugs that you are bringing across. Use a Visa for this and this proof must be sent in with the application. Also have to send in a equivalency certificate/label. Watch you do not use the Eastern Canada, both are on the website. Get docs back from PMRA (can take some time, up to 30 days, ours was a week) and drive down and pick up chemical. Fill out B3 at border on way home. I had to pay GST becuase i did not know the Tarrif Code, #61. This means "herbicides exempt" and they did not volunteer the info. Have to claim it back. Also you have to call Revenue Canada and get a importers # registerred. This is your GST #, with RM0001 on the front. You need this to cross as well. Just takes a phone call to get this done and is instant. I crossed at a Commercial Crossing and they will real sticky with some product I was transporting back for someone else, made us pay a broker to do a whole raft of paperwork. Mine was easy, his was extremely painful. They deemed it was not "casual" movement of product, in other words that i was doing it as a business and therefore needed to use a broker as i do not have a licencse to act as a broker (i even had the permission document as discussed on PMRA website). THis was ludicrous as i had the guys visa with me. But i would cross a smaller crossing and i would not take anybodies product across again. Mine took half hour, his took 4.5 hrs, partly because it was a Sat and we could not find a broker, or one that would handle it for us.

Forgot one thing. Application requires home 1/4 LLD. It does not really say that, but should be included with your mailing address as they call for it. Also have to print the labels and stick them on each jug before coming home. You print them after they send the approved ones back to you.

This is part of what we recieved, as growers, when OUI was killed. OUI was not longer competitive anyway because USA supply was monopolized and you could not buy it anyway. Let's hope the same thing does not happen here, or at least supply restricted to the point of it being unavailable.

[SASKFARMER3]

Good Info Dave I wouldn't of brought the neighbors back he could have come along. On the Grow program I hope this doesnt deter farmers from doing it cost savings is huge. $1025 - 605 Hm no brainer.

[dave4441]

ACtually the savings are 1025 down to 545 per 3.3 L jug. 50% 605 is for the 3.79 L jug. Sorry to be anal, but it is half and a little time.

[Ooofty]

Thanks for the info Dave
