I don't think there are any OEM new hardtops available anywhere. Last year there was an eBay listing for the OEM hardtop shipping box, sounds like something you could have used. I think your only options are to buy a used hardtop somewhere else and take a road trip in your Boxster to pick it up, or buy one from someone that is willing to drop the hardtop off at a freight forwarder who will handle the packing, shipping, and in your case, import paperwork.

Shipping to Canada is going to be a pain. Expensive to send plus the import taxes. As PaulE suggested you may want to take a road trip with your Boxster. If it's on the car you can avoid the import taxes and shipping

Bought one recently (OEM is very nice) but had to drive and pickup. I used my 986, but a large SUV would also work and of course a Pickup Truck is golden. It looks VERY easy to damage in shipping unless packed really well.
