Carlsson has a distributor in Canada who imports their products directly from Carlsson. It is illegal for you to bring them in yourself, and unlikely that you will find a company willing to do so.

thank you for your suggestion, but that is nothing to do with my question. bring them in doesn't mean importing them. don't you buy things when you travel to other place? i will see if the distributor in Canada can sue me or put me into jail by bring them in.

so you think UPS will not ship Carlsson product to Canada if buying from TireRack? or is it illegal for UPS to "bring them in " without the permission of the Canadian distributor"? or TireRack is illegally selling Carlsson product to Canada?
I am not trying to offence you or argue with you.......but if you really think that's against the law. Please update us!!!!!!!!

Carlsson are made in Germany.
I think that Dunlops are made in the US as they are part of Goodyear. Dunlop has two mfg plants: Buffalo, NY and Huntsville, Al.
Don't think that it should be a problem. I know someone that purchased OZ wheels (made in Italy) from TireRack and shipped them to Canada. Don't remember having to pay extra duty for this.
TireRack has rights for Carlsson for NA from what I've been told, so the last time I checked Canada is part of NA. :p

Ummm....Fanatic is right. But I've seen my friend's SP9000s which says Made in Germany. But if they have two plants in the US, you should say Dunlop tires are Made in USA when bringing the tires in.
I have been told Tirerack will no longer be Carlsson's North American distributor starting from next year.

Where did you hear that? Do you know who will be replacing them as the official importer of Carlsson parts if this is true?
No disrespect to TireRack but they only seemed interested in the wheels whereas a lot of us are also looking for interior and exterior body mods to go with.

There is a Canadian distributor for Carlsson now. But they mostly do wholesale accounts and take very few retail customers. I am honored that I was granted a Carlsson wholesale account starting starting this month. However, I'm not sure who will be the new distributor of USA. Maybe they'll open a Carlsson North America office???

At this moment, no one can beat Tirerack's prices on Carlsson wheels because they're having a closeout sale. They just have to get rid of their stocks ASAP. The new distributor has set up the prices pretty high. Check out Carlsson's website and you can find out the name. I dont want to promote a company here.
Zhaoyi is a very smart buyer, he knows exactly where to get what. We dont need to worry about him.

As of Wednesday, December 4th, Tirerack is no longer the US distributor for Carlsson. They still have some wheels in stock, however they have all been discontinued, and will be rereleased with different finishes and styles.

depends on the weather
Actually we chose to end our relationship with Carlsson several months ago ... that's why the pricing has been reduced ... as to other comments about "interior and exterior" products we did have quite few of them .... at one time ....
back to the question at hand
Dunlop tires are produced all over the world ... so look at the tire it will say where it was produced on the sidewall
Carlsson wheels are typically produced in either Italy or Germany but it depends on which company made them
