Quebec sales tax

The QST is paid when you register the car at the SAAQ, and not when you cross the border, as the Ministere de Revenu has not (yet) installed their own tax gremlins at Canada Customs! The QST is paid on the Canadian dollar value of the car, as declared by the importer (hint, hint).
