Default proof of manufacturing country for the 350Z?

Anyone know where I can show proof of where the car was manufactured? I recently moved from the US to Canada and I'm thinking of selling the Z here but I need to prove to customs where the car was manufactured for import tax purposes. Thanks in advance.

look at the first letter of the VIN as that letter indicates the country of origin. "J" = Japan

The US dollar is now equal to or a little less than the Canadian dollar. It a sad sad world. (just felt that needed to be said.)

Thanks all. Too bad for me, cars made in Japan carry a 6.1% duty which I would have to pay on top of the sales tax that was waived when I came into the country.
