New residents to Canada can import their personal belongings to Canada duty free as long the items were purchased prior to your arrival in Canada. For current up to date import regulations please visit the Canada Customs website on SETTLING IN CANADA 

Please make you read the section titled: PREPARING TO ENTER CANADA to avoid disappointment and extra charges at the border.

 

Our services from Manila to Toronto are as follows:

1. air freight for items required sooner rather than later
2. ocean freight in what we call LIFTVANS (large crates where you can load whatever belonging will fit in them)
3. standard LCL cargo on pallets (less protection than those of LIFTVAN type)

Please note the owner of the personal effects must present themselves at customs  (customs brokers cannot process personal effects).
