Canadian National Van Lines is consistently chosen as the cross border carrier due to the wide range of services we offer for families moving their life across the border. No matter what your needs are, we have the services you need to ensure a smooth relocation.
The process is rather straightforward providing all of the necessary documentation is properly completed and prepared. Your household goods and personal effect are permitted to enter the US Duty free providing they have been in your possession and used for at least 1 (one) year.
It is not necessary for customers to be present at the border at the time of crossing as we are able to clear your shipment providing the following documentation is in order.
Here are some of the required documentation for household goods crossing the border:
For Non-Residents:
- Clear copies of a Valid passport
- Work or Study Visa
- Copy of I–94
- Completed 3299 Customs Form – Declaration of Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles
Returning US Residents Require:
- Clear copies of a Valid passport
- Completed 3299 Customs Form – Declaration of Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles
It is important that all documentation is submitted to the carrier prior to crossing and on time to ensure that there are no problems. If there is a problem with your immigration status, US customs may return your shipment back. This may result in additional charges for border delays and cost of returning the shipment back to origin. Please make sure you speak with our trained moving co-ordinators who can assist you with the paperwork and ensure that this process is smooth for you and your family.
