Moving from Romania to Canada

Romanian packing and collection are planned separately from ocean freight and Canadian delivery. Provide the Canadian postal code and arrival/status details; shipments arriving after you must be included on the original goods-to-follow list presented to CBSA. Send an inventory, addresses and preferred dates for a written scope covering origin handling, ocean freight, customs coordination and destination services. We do not publish unverified transatlantic prices or guaranteed transit times.

1. Send an itemised inventory, photos or a walk-through video; we estimate volume in CBM (m³) and confirm it during the survey.
2. Provide collection and delivery addresses, floors, lift dimensions, parking and walking distance from the vehicle.
3. Share your preferred dates and flexibility; consolidation and sailing schedules affect the indicative transit window.
4. Specify packing, disassembly, unpacking, assembly and storage needs so the written quote defines what is included.
5. Prepare a declared-value inventory and consider all-risk door-to-door insurance; confirm the cover and exclusions before booking.

Your move is coordinated from our Bucharest operating hub at Șos. Drum de Centura Chitila-Rudeni 7, 077045 Bucharest, Romania. Destination services are arranged with the destination team; your quote specifies the agreed responsibilities.

Canadian personal-effects relief depends on settler or former-resident status and the goods. Settlers and former residents have different ownership/use conditions; later shipments must appear on the original goods-to-follow list presented to CBSA. Relief is not automatic.

• Prepare two copies of a valued inventory, with identifying details where applicable; separate accompanying goods and goods to follow.
• Confirm BSF186 and the BSF186A continuation list with CBSA; retain the endorsed accounting documents for later shipments.
• Settlers generally need to have owned, possessed and used their personal effects abroad before arrival; do not apply a blanket six-month rule to every settler.
• Former residents generally need at least one year abroad; ownership, possession and use requirements, six-month conditions and exceptions must be checked with CBSA.
• Bring identity and immigration/status evidence and confirm customs attendance or representation, restrictions and disposal conditions before shipping.

Planning guidance checked November 2026, not a customs ruling. Confirm current requirements with the authority or destination broker before shipping. Eligibility, restrictions and charges depend on the goods and your circumstances. This page describes the stated direction only; reverse-direction requirements differ.
