A new home in Canada or the United States starts with a coordinated moving plan. We help you work through your household inventory, route, packing needs and delivery arrangements before the journey begins.
Canada–USA Cross-Border Moving. It starts with the details.
The right questions at the start make the next steps clearer. Explore the parts of your move we’ll plan together.
The distance changes. The care doesn’t.
START WITH BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER.
Tell us whether you are moving from Canada to the USA or returning to Canada. Include the full origin and destination addresses, proposed dates and the contact who will receive your belongings.
02 / THE EXPERIENCE
A clear plan. Care at every step.
Inventory and packing. Customs preparation. Transport and delivery. A plan for each stage of the journey.
01THE KRATOS EXPERIENCE
01 — INVENTORY & PACKING
Prepare for the Canada–USA border.
Decide what is coming with you and create a detailed inventory. Review furniture protection, fragile packing and the pickup arrangements with your moving contact.
Keep passports, essential documents and valuables with you. Agree what is included in the transport plan, who handles each stage and the expected timing.
A clear inventory starts the journey.
02 — CUSTOMS & DOCUMENTS
Get the paperwork in order.
Requirements depend on the direction of travel and your circumstances. Check the relevant US or Canadian customs instructions, prepare the required declarations and identify restricted items before pickup.
Clarify responsibilities for forms, customs coordination and any duties or charges before booking. Clearance is determined by the relevant authorities, so avoid assuming that every item or shipment qualifies for relief.
Documents ready before departure.
03 — TRANSPORT & ARRIVAL
Coordinate the final stretch.
Coordinate border processing with the agreed delivery arrangements. Customs release and any inspections can affect timing, so keep your receiving contact and access plans flexible.
Review the delivery inventory at handover and raise any concerns with your moving contact. Keep essential items accessible while the rest of your household settles in.
A considered arrival in your new country.

04 / THE MOVING DIARIES
Every move has a story.
The boxes. The busy days. The fresh starts. Follow along for a closer look at moving day.
We review enquiries for Canada-to-USA and USA-to-Canada moves. Share both addresses, your inventory and target dates so route availability and the required arrangements can be confirmed.
What documents will I need?+
Requirements depend on your destination, status and belongings. Confirm the current requirements with the relevant border authorities; the moving team can discuss the shipment information needed for your particular plan.
Can you guarantee a border-clearance date?+
Border processing is outside a mover’s control. Your schedule should allow for the agreed transport window and any processing requirements rather than relying on a guaranteed clearance time.
Can I include every household item?+
Some items may have restrictions or require additional arrangements. Review your inventory before packing and confirm destination requirements for anything unusual.
Can you help pack a cross-border move?+
Ask about packing support when sharing your inventory. The team will review the protection and preparation needed for the agreed transport plan.
How do I request a cross-border quote?+
Start with both addresses, your preferred move date and household size. An agent will then review your inventory, access and destination details with you.
