We are a Canadian moving company that helps individuals, businesses, and families with long-distance moves and shipping. More and more Canadians are moving south of the border, and we’re here to make your move as seamless as possible.
At Huli, we consider ourselves to be the travel agents of long-distance moves. We specialize in logistical consultations, and we go above and beyond to ensure your move is not only successful but that it meets your needs and expectations in terms of speed and budget.
We have experience with the requirements for moving to the States, and we can help you prepare with the proper paperwork, packing advice, and more.
According to USA customs, as long as you are moving your home and have been in possession of your goods for at least 12 concurrent months without the intention of selling them, your goods will be duty and tax-free. Almost all meat products are not allowed entry into the USA, which includes but is not limited to soup mixes, bouillon, and tinned meat. If you are a returning USA resident, you are allowed 1 American litre (33.08 fl oz) duty-free.
As a Canadian-based Canada to US moving company, we operate out of all major cities in Canada, and we have partnerships and connections across North America and around the world. With operations in Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, and Ottawa, Huli is where you need us to be. Unlike many long-distance movers, we also provide shuttling services if you live in a smaller community or a rural area. When it comes to crossing the border, we’ve assisted with moves to cities across the United States, including New York, Atlanta, Miami, Denver, Los Angelas, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, Houston and more.
Moving from Canada to the US can be an expensive journey. You have to consider the exchange rate of the dollar and be prepared for a different cost of living once you’re down there. Not to mention, the costs of moving alone can be up to $30,000.
At Huli, we know that you care about three things when it comes to moving your possessions: speed of delivery, overall cost, and the safety of your items during transit. Our approach makes it possible to deliver on all three of these priorities. While we can move your entire home, in many cases, we recommend downsizing to make the cost of your move more affordable.
Of course, there are things you won’t be able to live without, like your grandmother’s rocking chair, a box of old records from your dad, your favourite comfy couch or your collection of books.
From a few boxes to the five-piece bedroom set you fell in love with, we will create a detailed logistics plan to ensure the shipment goes smoothly.
When it comes to deciding what and how to move, people often consider using a courier to deliver goods across the border.
While couriers are a reliable and fast option for shipping small packages back and forth from Canada to the US, the price for shipping large cargo is astronomical.
At Huli, our approach is known as freight forwarding. We contract with several transportation companies to find the right amount of space on an aircraft or other vehicle for your shipment. We’re not focused on filling an entire plan as a courier might be; instead, we focus on filling a pallet and finding the cheapest way to move that pallet from point A to point B.
This approach is also known as “shared moving.” Unlike some Canada to US moving companies, our prices are based on cubic metres rather than overall weight. In other words, you can put as much as you like on the pallet, regardless of how much it weighs.
As your international moving company and moving logistics coordinators, we oversee your delivery from planning to packing to shipment all the way to doorstep delivery.
Contact us today to ask for a quote. You’ll hear back from us within a few hours with your FREE initial estimate and instructions for what to do next.
Once we’ve established the price, it’s time to confirm your shipment and book a moving date. We can arrange for pickup 24-48 hours after your initial inquiry.
On the selected date, we will arrive at your residence to collect your cargo and shuttle it to the nearest warehouse. We will pack the pallet to ensure optimal space efficiency.
And just like that, we’ll deliver your cargo curbside to your new residence within 5-8 business days. We can also arrange for temporary storage as needed.
In order to ensure the most secure and space-efficient packing, we recommend that our professionals pack your goods for you. We use the best materials and techniques in order to put you at ease by knowing that your goods will arrive safely. We have premium boxes and hardware built to transport anything from flatscreens to artwork to your fancy suit.
For your delicate and precious items, we custom-build wooden crates for maximum security. Every item moved will be export-wrapped or packed in a box. If you prefer to pack some of your goods yourself, we can provide you with the packing materials needed and a packing guide to help you with this.
Part of being there every step of the way means having good communication and great customer service. We will help you through the customs process in addition to providing insurance and short-term storage as needed.
There are three main paths you can take when planning a move from Canada to the US. If you are not an American citizen, you will need a visa to live and work in the States. You may apply for an employer-sponsored work visa, a business visa, or a green card through family sponsorship.
Personal and household items such as furniture, artwork, tableware, books, and other items are allowed free entry of duty and tax. You do not have to send all your items at once, but they must be sent within ten years of your move.
Form 3299 is the Declaration For Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles and must include a line-item list of everything in the shipment. We can assist with all documentation needed to enter America.
