Moving From Canada to The United States

Entry of Dutiable Items

If dutiable items are contained in your shipment, a licensed Customs House Broker will be engaged to prepare an Informal Entry ( Form 5119-A )

Each dutiable item must be specifically identified with the Harmonized Tariff of the United States.

The broker’s fee for this service is approximately $3.00 per line item, although fees can vary. These charges are collected on a C.O.D. basis at time of delivery to your destination residence, unless such charges are authorized in advance to be billed to a corporate customer

What Happens When Your Possessions arrive in the United States?

Generally customers are not present at the border when the Parkway Van Lines operator arrives with your possessions on board. We are usually able to clear your shipment for delivery to residence at this point, providing all of your documentation is in order. If there is a problem, the shipment will be placed " IN BOND" to the closest customs office to your new home. You will be required by law to personally appear to clear your goods.

• To clear your shipment, we require the following documentation:
• Copy of your visa (work or study)
• Copy of offer of employment letter (salary info can be marked out)
• Copy of front page from your passport clearly showing your photograph
• Other photo identification if you do not have a passport (i.e. driver's license)
• U.S. Customs Form #3299
• Copy of Letter of Compliance from Auto Manufacturer
