What the border actually looked like for them.

★★★★★
“The other quotes either ducked the customs question or wanted a transfer to a Canadian carrier at the border. The Motion Transport team ran the whole thing themselves. Border processing was exactly what they quoted.”

★★★★★
“We were dreading the customs side. The team handled the 3299 entirely, sent it for our signature, walked us through what we’d be asked at the border, and crossed at Champlain without a hitch.”

Common questions.

Do you handle the customs paperwork?

Yes — we prepare the customs manifest and documentation for both Canadian and US border crossings, in either direction.

Will my belongings change trucks at the border?

No — your shipment stays on our truck and in our chain of custody the whole way. There is no transfer to a separate US carrier.

Do I have to pay duty on my household goods?

Used personal and household effects are generally duty-free when you’re relocating, subject to customs rules. We walk you through the documentation at quote time.

How long does a cross-border move take?

It depends on the corridor and the border crossing — we give you a delivery window in your written quote and call with an ETA once we’re rolling.

Which cities and states do you serve?

All 10 Canadian provinces and destinations across the continental US, both directions. We do not service the territories.

Is there an in-person estimate?

No — we assess by video call and build your inventory from there.
