Planning the Washington, D.C.–Brossard route
This USA-to-Canada relocation connects the District of Columbia with Quebec. Plan personal travel and household-goods clearance separately, and confirm delivery access before your shipment leaves Washington, D.C..
Pickup in Washington, D.C., DC
For your Washington, D.C., DC address, describe the property type, parking or loading point, stairs, elevator reservations and distance from the truck to the door. Provide furniture dimensions and a receiving contact so pickup or delivery can be assessed for the actual property.
Delivery in Brossard, QC
For a Brossard condo near the REM or Quartier DIX30, obtain the building’s delivery entrance and elevator instructions. For a house, include driveway clearance, basement stairs and garage contents rather than only the bedroom count.
Packing, protection and storage
Professional packing and unpacking are available. If your possession dates do not line up, ask about storage as part of your moving plan. Confirm scope, availability and charges in your written quote.
What your quote depends on
Shipment volume, distance, dates, packing, stairs, elevators, walking distance and storage affect cost. An accurate inventory and access details help avoid surprises.
Prepare your household inventory
List the goods you plan to ship and identify restricted or separately regulated items before packing. Keep travel documents and essential medication with you. Your own entry and the entry of your shipment are separate matters.
Moving into Canada
CBSA guidance explains how to prepare lists of goods accompanying you and goods to follow. BSF186 and BSF186A are relevant personal-effects documents. Keep the border documentation for your later shipment and confirm the process with CBSA.
