What Happens When Your Possessions Arrive In Canada

We are not permitted to deliver your personal possessions until the shipment has actually cleared customs. Canada Customs regulations require that you as the owner of the goods must clear the shipment in person. It is important to note that only the owner(s) of the goods can handle this aspect of your relocation. You cannot assign a third party to appear at customs on your behalf. Your Parkway Van Lines van operator will contact you to make arrangements to meet him at the manifested customs office to make your customs declaration. You should bring the following documentation to the Customs Office:

Immigration Documents:
    Work Visa
    Employer Letter of Intent
    Passport or Birth Certificate
    Photo Identification
Possessions Documents:
    Completed Copy of Inventories
    Copy of Bill of Lading including Completed Declaration of Value
Duty or Taxes:
    In the event that there are any duty, fees or taxes owing, you will be required to pay these monies before goods are released. Cheques, cash or credit cards (Visa/Master card) are accepted.
