Canada–USA Cross-Border Movers
Keep Moving relocates households between Canada and the United States on selected routes — through Toronto and Ontario, Montreal and Quebec, and Metro Vancouver to Washington and Oregon — with cross-border move planning, inventories, packing and customs-document coordination built in.
What it involves
How a cross-border move works
A cross-border move is a documentation exercise as much as a transport job. We plan the crossing, prepare an itemized inventory with you and keep you informed at each stage.
Cross-border move planning
Every cross-border move starts with a plan: the route, the border crossing, the documentation and the timing. We confirm these with you before move day so there are fewer surprises at the border.
Household-goods inventories
An itemized inventory of your household goods supports your customs declarations. We prepare it with you so the list matches what is actually on the truck.
Packing and labelling
Items are packed and labelled for a cross-border journey, with cartons listed against your inventory so everything is accounted for at pickup and delivery.
Customs-document coordination
We help coordinate the customs documents each border agency expects and work with you to have them ready before the truck reaches the crossing.
Border preparation
We plan for border wait times, peak travel periods and the documents the crossing requires, and we flag restricted items in advance so they are not loaded.
Transportation
Your shipment is transported on the planned route and crossing, with the truck loaded for the cross-border distance.
Delivery
At the destination we unload and place your belongings, with furniture placed where you want it and cartons delivered to the rooms you choose.
Customer documentation responsibilities
You are responsible for the accuracy of your customs declarations and for any duties, taxes or fees the border agencies determine. We help you understand what is expected, but the declarations are yours to make.
