Customs Agency VS Moving Companies

If you have to move to another country you will have to contact the customs agency yourself. this way you know what fees you will be charged and can register your car in the new company.

Calling a moving company to find out what the fees will be and how to register your car in the USA will not get you any ware but directed to call Customs and/or the DMV.

Well, you will also probably get frustrated.

Due to Canadian law, US moving companies generally Can Not move you from Canada into the USA. I think it has something to do with taking work/money from the country, but don't quote me on that.

If you don't want to run around, or be run around, the best bet would probably be to contact the customs agency or either your country and/or the one you are moving to and deal directly with them. Then after, or while you are getting that information you should contact a moving company near you if you are planing to move your household goods.

Because contacting a moving company at your destination is a whole 'nother can of worms.
