Goods to follow question?
Our container is due in on the 24th October at Edmonton, just thought I would ask what the procedure is?
I assume when notified, we take our paperwork to customs for stamping and then delivery is arranged.
Would be grateful for any further comments.

I'm certain the customs officer had decided that he wasn't going to inspect our container long before he even saw our lists or met us. He also made a quick call to the people on the agricultural side of things which went "You don't want to see it, do you? They're from Great Britain....no....we're not opening it either...."

I thought the removals company did all this for you? we get a door to door service, doesn't this mean they release it to the movers??

We got a call from the company at the canada end to say our stuff was here and they told us where the customs place was. It got delivered a couple of days after we did the goods to follow, which wasn't anywhere near as intense or serious as we'd expected.

we used bishops move, exeter.
the local canadian agents was tippet richardson,
customs on landing weren't really interested in any goods to follow lists. a some weeks later , we had a phone call, a few days before container arrival, asking about customs, they offered to clear the container for us, I asked how much ? they said it was all in the price, I had one form to fill out,( and I didn't have any TV / x box / dvd / video serial numbers or model types etc, I just put down all as nil value due to pal , and the second hand value of computers in canada) but no problems, they express cleared it, and it all arrived OK
all very painless,
but wish we knew it was a one off duty free import of all goods, we might have squeezed in a bit more....
cheers

They don't seem to be that fussy as long as you are honest and not taking the piss. We had a brand new king size matress strill in its original packing that we brought to match one of our beds. They weren't interested when I mentioned it.
