We move households both ways across the border between Georgia and Canada — one truck, one crew, customs handled, no transfer. Written, flat quotes after a quick video call.
A household move between Georgia and Canada crosses an international border, which means declaring goods with Canada Border Services Agency, completing the BSF186 goods-to-follow form and the BSF186A accompanying goods list, and confirming eligibility for duty-free entry on used personal effects. Motion manages the paperwork and keeps your goods on one truck the entire way, licensed to operate on both sides of the border.
Every household move into Canada requires a BSF186 goods-to-follow list and a BSF186A list of goods arriving with the resident, both filed with Canada Border Services Agency at the port of entry. These forms declare what is being imported and determine whether items qualify for duty-free entry. Incomplete or inaccurate lists are the most common cause of customs delays on this corridor.
Used personal and household effects are generally admitted duty-free when a person relocates to Canada. Returning Canadian residents must demonstrate that goods were owned and used abroad for a minimum of six months under tariff item 9805.00.00. Settlers arriving in Canada for the first time are assessed under separate conditions and should confirm eligibility before the move date.
Atlanta to Toronto via I-75 North and the Ambassador Bridge runs roughly 1,200 km from the crossing point. Moves to Montreal via Lacolle-Champlain add distance through the Carolinas and New York. The specific crossing used, Ambassador Bridge, Peace Bridge or Queenston-Lewiston, depends on the Canadian destination and is confirmed at quote time.
Motion holds the licensing required to operate a household goods move from pickup in Georgia through to delivery at a Canadian address without transferring the load to a second carrier at the border. The same truck and crew complete the move end to end, which keeps the chain of custody intact and removes the scheduling risk that comes with a mid-route handoff.

Georgia anchors the Southeast on our cross-border network. Atlanta is the primary hub, with Savannah, Augusta and Columbus all regular stops. Motion runs the corridor in both directions on a single truck with a single crew, no transfer at the border, and no handoff to a second carrier. We prepare the customs documentation for every crossing and provide a firm delivery window in your written quote, confirmed after a short video-call assessment.
Northbound volume picks up through late spring as families time moves to the school calendar, and southbound runs stay consistent through the colder months as returning snowbirds and corporate relocations fill the truck. Because we service both directions on one route, space is not wasted on a one-way run, which keeps scheduling practical for customers moving either way on this corridor.
Your goods ride on our truck with our crew from pickup in Georgia to delivery in Canada, no transfer at the border and no change of hands midway.
We prepare the manifest, the BSF186 goods-to-follow form and the BSF186A accompanying goods list filed with Canada Border Services Agency at the port of entry, for moves in both directions.
Coverage is built into the written quote. There are no surprise add-on fees at invoice time and no separate brokerage charges for the border crossing.
Furniture and fragile items are wrapped and padded by our crew before loading. Packing materials are accounted for in your written quote rather than added at delivery.
We conduct a full inventory and confirm routing details over a short video call. No in-person visit is required to receive a firm written quote for your Georgia move.
Yes, both directions on one truck with one crew. We service northbound and southbound on the same corridor, which means we fill the truck on the return run rather than deadheading, and the customs paperwork is prepared for whichever direction you are moving.
Used personal and household effects are generally duty-free when you are relocating. Returning Canadian residents must show goods were owned and used abroad for at least six months under tariff item 9805.00.00. Settlers arriving for the first time are assessed under different conditions. We walk you through the specifics at quote time.
We cover any Canadian destination. Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Hamilton, London and Windsor are regular stops on this corridor. If your destination is not listed, tell us during the video call and we confirm routing from there.
Transit depends on distance to your specific Canadian destination, the crossing used and current border conditions. We give you a delivery window in your written quote rather than a single date, so you have a realistic range to plan around.
The primary forms are the BSF186 goods-to-follow list and the BSF186A list of goods accompanying you, both filed with Canada Border Services Agency at the port of entry. We prepare these forms as part of the move.
A short video call is all we need to confirm your inventory and send a firm quote.
