Klacar moves households and businesses between Canada and the United States in both directions. Your goods ride on our equipment, and the customs paperwork is coordinated before the truck reaches the crossing.
A cross-border move with Klacar has three parts: the pickup, the crossing and the delivery. The crossing needs the most preparation, so it is the part we plan first.
Before the truck is booked, we build the inventory, go through the paperwork with you and confirm the timing. Household goods going to the US enter on CBP Form 3299, which we prepare with you and you sign as the owner of the goods. Coming into Canada they travel in bond and you clear them at customs yourself. A licensed customs broker is only involved for commercial goods.
We are an asset-based carrier established in 2012, with our own trailers and crews based in Burlington, Ontario. Both directions, household and commercial, on one contract with one company responsible for your goods on both sides of the line.

A missing form at the crossing can hold a truck for a day. Here is how we plan to avoid that.
Inventory and paperwork coordinated before the truck leaves, not at the booth.
Canada to US and US to Canada use different forms, and we plan for both.
Your contract is with the carrier, and the same carrier delivers on the other side.
