I am new to importing and just wondering if any of you gurus could help with a question.

1) Since I don't live in Vancouver can the required paperwork like the soil inspection and customs fees etc be done from home in K town? So all I have to do is fly down to Van pay the De-Stuffing fees etc .... throw on some plates from my current Delica and burn off into the sunset ( I had hoped to do all the complience details and Reg once home) or do I have to give my self several days in Van to make it all happen?
Thanks for your time.
Cheers..
