Crossing border while moving to BC from Ottawa
 

Can any one tell me if it would be a problem to cross into the US and then back into Canada towing a trailer with household goods on board for relocation???

Looking for your experiences as well so please post them

Thanks
Roger

Former Lancastrian or Novacastrian where are you guys???

Novacastrian is in France getting pissed on cheap vino and gorging himself on cheap cheese and decent bread.

I cross my local boarder several times a month a couple weeks ago met a German guy that was doing the same but to Toronto, US customs were pulling his trailer and contents apart, and then questioning him about his intentions suspicious that he was planing on setting up house somewhere in the US, so check with them first and make certain you have documentation to back up what you intend to tell boarder control.

I cross the border for business 7 or 8 times a year with no problems but have never taken a trailer over.

Maybe I will pack and ship the goods!:ohmy:

I can't imagine why there'd be a problem if you have your paperwork in place.

Only concerned about the US border mostly, it only takes one to have a bad day!!! Really don't want to have to empty the trailer:ohmy:

The question wasn't about tenants' rights.

As you say, you might meet a renegade nursing a hangover, it's happened to me. But what can you do? You'll be lucky and get FL's American cousin. Oh, yes.

Now I'm just worried:ohmy:

Cheers Mr Novo

:rofl: For the benefit of BE posters there is only one like me in Canada but I can attest there are officers on both sides who are worse than me.
So is the OH or Mrs Nova not enjoying the wine, cheese and bread along with you?

Now now.... Lets not argue, this is a happy place:D

Re: Crossing border while moving to BC from Ottawa
 

Bien sur. We literally had just bread, cheese & wine for lunch today.

Who could ask for anything more? <isn't that a song?>

I did that years ago. The US INS/Customs checked the trailer, saw how stuffed it was and decided they couldn't be bothered to pull everything out, which saved me a lot of hassle. They will likely want to feel sure that you are not trying to enter the US to stay, so I recommend that you have everything to support your intention. For example if you are moving to a job, have the employment-offer letter with you; moving to join someone else, have documentation of name and address, etc. If you have no evidence of your intention to travel through and out of the US, that's when problems may arise up to and including being barred from the US, depending on the mood at the border, and whether they have turned enough people back that week or month.
