Movieng from Mexico to Canada

18 years ago

Good day:

My wife and me are moving From Monterrey, MX to Vancouver, CA this fall. We want to find the cheapest way to move our stuff there. She will leave 2 months before I do to look for a house and start her school program. I already have a permanent resident visa, I will catch up after, hopefully in a U-Haul type vehicle.

We have stuff to take with us but there is hardly any furniture, mostly used electronics, clothing, books, fridge, washing machine, some smaller tables, kitchen stuff, etc.

I was planning on making trips in our vehicles to the border (McAllen) to a monthly storage until we finish bringing in the stuff, and there I can get a U-Haul to take to Vancouver. If everything goes well, my wife will have an appartment by the time I arrive.

We are worried about the taxes/customs to get into the US.

Any advice or experiences out there?

Thanks in advance.

Miguel Garcia and Erin Pitstick.
