Whether you are relocating for tech in Toronto, finance in Vancouver, or family in Nova Scotia, AMC turns moving from Ireland to Canada into a smooth, one-stop journey.
We export-pack your belongings, load them into secure sea containers or priority air pallets, clear Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) paperwork, and deliver safely to homes and apartments across the country, even in the depths of a Canadian winter.
Sea freight: weekly departures, 12–14 days on water to East-coast ports; allow 4–6 weeks door-to-door including customs and rail to Central/Western Canada. Air freight: ideal for unaccompanied luggage; 7–10 days door-to-door to most Canadian airports.
Used household goods owned six months+ enter duty- and tax-free with a completed CBSA Form B4E. AMC prepares the B4E, inventory list and submits them to CBSA. New items and large alcohol shipments may attract 5 % duty + GST/HST. We advise you case-by-case.
