Customs Clearance Support for Cross-Border Moves

When you’re moving goods across the border into Canada, customs clearance can be one of the most complex parts of the journey. Orbit Brokers provides customs clearance support to help ensure shipments enter Canada smoothly, compliantly, and without unnecessary delays.

With more than 35 years of experience, Orbit’s experienced team guides customers through Canadian import requirements related to relocation, personal shipments, and select commercial items. Their focus is to simplify the customs process so your move stays on track.

Customs Support for Commercial & Business Shipments

For businesses relocating, expanding, or moving equipment across the border, accurate customs processing is critical. Orbit Brokers supports Atlas customers by helping ensure commercial shipments related to cross-border moves are properly documented and cleared the first time.

Support includes guidance on:

• Canadian customs documentation and requirements
• HS classification and tariff considerations
• Duties and tax assessments
• Compliance-related questions tied to cross-border shipments

Orbit’s experience across a wide range of product types helps reduce the risk of delays, penalties, or unexpected costs at the border.

Customs Clearance for Personal Shipments & Household Goods

Importing personal belongings into Canada can be confusing, particularly for individuals relocating from abroad. Personal shipments may be subject to duties, GST, PST, HST, excise taxes, and other government charges if not handled correctly.

Orbit Brokers assists Atlas customers with customs clearance support for personal shipments related to cross-border moves, helping ensure goods are cleared efficiently and at the lowest applicable cost. This includes support for:

• Household goods and personal effects
• Clothing, appliances, and electronics
• Specialty items such as antiques or unique purchases
• Personal shipments tied to relocation or return to Canada

Whether you’re moving to Canada or bringing personal items across the border, Orbit’s team provides step-by-step guidance throughout the customs process.

Additional Logistics & Shipment Coordination

In addition to customs clearance support, Orbit Brokers can assist with shipment coordination and visibility to help Atlas customers understand where their goods are at each stage of the journey.

Additional support includes:

• Air, ocean, and truck shipment tracking and tracing
• Coordination with carriers, freight agents, and logistics partners
