At Metropolitan Logistics, we offer comprehensive international moving services from Canada to destinations around the world.

Our team understands the sensitive nature of international moves, and we tailor every relocation plan to your personal needs, budget, and timeline.
Every international relocation with Metropolitan Logistics is built on a full-service foundation — from packing and documentation to final delivery and compliance. Below is what’s included by default in every international move, with optional add-ons available to fit your needs.
Your move begins with a one-on-one consultation where we assess your origin, destination, volume of belongings, customs regulations, and timeframe. This is the foundation for creating your personalized relocation plan.
We use high-grade, export-approved materials and industry best practices to pack your household goods. For fragile or high-value items, custom wooden crates or reinforced packaging is available. Our team ensures every item is labeled, inventoried, and ready for international transit.
Each move includes detailed inventory logging with item codes, condition records, and compliance-ready documentation for international customs processing. We also help you complete necessary forms including customs declarations, insurance paperwork, and goods classification.
Depending on destination, urgency, and volume, we offer flexible freight options:
Our experts coordinate customs requirements in Canada and the destination country. We manage inspection protocols, declarations, duties, and ensure all goods meet import standards. For U.S. moves, we comply with CBP and CBSA cross-border policies.
We support outbound international relocations from Canada to all major global regions:
Our international moving services are comprehensive, but we also offer custom support based on your situation:
If your move-out date doesn’t align with your travel date, we provide climate-controlled, secure storage in Canada or at your international destination. Your goods remain insured and inventory-tracked.
We arrange for your car, motorcycle, or ATV to be shipped via container or roll-on/roll-off service. All import paperwork, inspection scheduling, and insurance are managed by our team.
We offer optional international relocation insurance policies to cover your goods during transit. Choose between declared value protection or full replacement value.
Moving with pets? We coordinate IATA-compliant animal relocation services, including veterinary clearance, kennel transport, and customs protocols.
To help you prepare, we provide country-specific customs information packets outlining what can and cannot be imported, duty exemptions, and important deadlines.

International moving involves multiple layers of regulation, customs clearance, freight coordination, and cross-border documentation. Unlike local moves, international moves require proper labeling, export declarations, and coordination with overseas agents for final-mile delivery.
Yes. Our team completes customs declaration forms, tariff codes, bills of lading, and duties/taxes where applicable. We ensure your shipment is fully documented for CBSA, CBP, and foreign import authorities.
Pricing is based on shipment volume (cubic feet or weight), mode of transport (air or sea), origin and destination cities, packing needs, and any special services such as storage or insurance. We always provide detailed quotes.
While you may pack non-fragile items yourself, we recommend professional packing for fragile or regulated goods. Improperly packed items may be refused at customs or become ineligible for insurance.
Shipping time depends on destination and method. Cross-border trucking to the U.S. takes 2–7 days. Sea freight to Europe or Asia ranges from 3–8 weeks. Air freight is faster but more expensive, usually within 7–14 days.
Yes. We offer optional insurance coverage for all international moves. You can select from basic coverage or full-value protection depending on your shipment’s value.
We offer Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping, where your items share container space with others. This is ideal for students, minimalists, or temporary relocations.
Yes, with proper documentation and packing. Our team offers crating, moisture-proofing, and customs classification for high-value and sensitive items.
While we don’t offer immigration or language services, we do provide helpful orientation guides and can refer you to trusted relocation partners abroad.
