Moving Household Goods When you reach the border, you will need to fill out Canada
Border Services Form
B4 - Personal Effects Accounting Document that requires a COMPLETE
list of
your imported goods, serial numbers where applicable and the
approximate value in C$. To ease the process, you should make a list
of all the items (and their approximate value if known) as you are
packing in the US and keep a running tally of your box count as
well. You may want to break your items into the areas as outlined

Pets Moving your pets can be relatively easy if they are young and
appear healthy. Cats older than 3 months and dogs older than 8
months may be imported from the US as long as they accompany you
when you enter Canada. For all pets, you will need to submit a
certificate signed and dated by a veterinarian for each pet that
shows the animal is currently vaccinated against rabies, the vaccine
used and its expiry date. This certificate must also have enough
detail to identify the animal.
