IF ALL GOES WELL APRIL 22 AT INTERVIEW IN MONTREAL

MY CHILDREN AND I WILL BE MOVING ASAP

AFTER GETTING XPRESS POST BACK

WE WILL BE DRIVING A HUGE UHUAL WITH ALL OUR BELONGINGS

ANYONE EVER DID THIS ON HERE

IS THERE A HUGE PROBLEM AT BORDER

IM CROSSING AT PEMBINA NORTH DAKOTA

I MIGHT CALL BORDER TO SEE HOW I SHOULD PACK AND LIST ITEMS

OPEN TO ANY INFO

We just did this a few weeks ago. We had no problems with the Uhaul at the border, but I do suggest that you don't use old bottled beer (24) case boxes for your belongings. They opened the truck up and asked us "how many cases of beer did you say you have?" (we bought 2-24s of Keith's at the border and when asked claimed them) He then asked about the Labatt Blue boxes in the truck. I quickly explained that we reused those boxes for kitchen items since we ran out of boxes. He seemed to be satisfied with that answer.

I did not do a manifest of what was in the boxes, nor did they ask for one. We ran out of time when we were loading the truck and wanted to get on the road, so I took a chance and would have winged it at the border had they asked. They just mainly asked about alcohol, tobacco, firearms and asked a quick question about what was in the truck to which my hubby answered all of his personal belongings including the liquor from his bar.

Just be honest and you should have no issues whatsoever.
