Cross-Border Moving Services Between Canada and the United States
Moving across the border requires careful planning and important documentation. If you're planning to move from Canada to the United States, consider hiring professional cross-border movers to help you with the transition. Movers will help you navigate customs, complete required paperwork and ensure your items arrive safely at your next destination. Here’s what you can look forward to when you choose North American Van Lines as your international moving partner.

How Cross-Border Moving Works with North American Van Lines
Our cross-border movers are equipped to help you through every stage of the moving process. They'll help you carefully move your belongings into high-quality moving boxes and load them into a climate-controlled moving truck. While in transit, you can track your items in real-time with our GPS tracking system. Once they arrive at your new home in the United States, they’ll quickly get to work, unpacking, assembling furniture, and setting up appliances. Throughout the process, our movers will be right by your side, helping you through every task involved in the international relocation.
Expert Customs Clearance and Documentation Assistance
To ensure your belongings don't get stuck in customs, you'll need to complete the correct documentation and pay the tariffs. All travelers crossing the border will need to complete Form 6059B. Form 3299 will also need to be completed if you're moving with household goods.
Depending on what you're bringing, you may also need to pay duty fees and tariffs. Our cross-border movers will assist you in navigating customs clearance documentation to ensure a hassle-free experience. We have PDF downloads on our website that you can use to ensure you’re filling out the right documents. Our movers will also provide you with a comprehensive list of what you can and can't bring before move-out day so you can pack accordingly.

Transparent Cross-Border Moving Costs
Cross-border moving service pricing will vary, depending on several key factors: the size of your home, the weight of your items, and the distance from origin to destination. A move from Toronto to Los Angeles will be more expensive than a simple move to a neighboring state, like New York. On average, a move that's over 400 miles is between $6,700 and $9,250 for a standard two-bedroom home, and $5,500 to $7,500 for a move of less than 150 miles.
Preparing for Your Cross-Border Move
If you plan to move to the United States, you'll want to start the planning process at least six months in advance. This will give you enough time to apply for a VISA, complete customs paperwork and find a reliable moving company.
Two to three months before your move-out date, start packing your belongings, room by room, starting with nonessentials. Cross-border movers will provide you with a list of items you can't bring into the United States. As you pack your items, it's best to keep a detailed inventory list and label your boxes accordingly. This inventory list may be requested at the border. If you’re worried about packing the wrong items, consider hiring professional packers to help you through this process.
Two weeks before your move, you'll want to cancel subscriptions, change your address, turn off utilities and finalize details with your movers. The movers will call to confirm all documentation has been completed before arriving at your house on move-out day.
