Transport Canada ↔ Greece

Spourgitis moves relocations and household goods from Greece to Canada, and pallets and commercial goods to and from Canada. We are a family-run transport company since 1943. We collect from your address and deliver to the recipient’s door anywhere in Canada: Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and every other city. Canada is outside the European Union, so every shipment goes through customs, and we handle the export customs clearance from Greece.

The cost depends on the volume, the weight, the pickup and delivery cities and the service, express or economy. You see the exact amount before you send, with no hidden charges.

It depends on the transport method: by air with the express or economy service, or by sea for larger shipments. You get the delivery date together with the quote.

We take care of the planning, the packing and wrapping and the transport of your household goods, for anyone moving to Canada for work or studies. You choose between two options:

The cost is calculated from the volume of your belongings in cubic metres, the distance and any extra services. For an exact quote we only need:

For Greek businesses exporting to Canada, and for businesses and shops in Canada bringing in products from Greece, we move euro pallets and commercial goods in a shared load, where you pay only for the space you use, or in a dedicated shipment for large orders. We prepare the transport documents and the export customs clearance from Greece ourselves.

We send olive oil in metal tins and food from Greece to relatives, restaurants and shops in Canada, packed so that they arrive intact. For olive oil: by sea, up to 80 litres per shipment to Toronto and up to 120 litres to Montreal. By air, with no quantity limit. For a larger quantity by sea, ask us for a quote. See how olive oil transport abroad works.

You need a commercial invoice for goods, a list of contents for personal belongings, and for a relocation a list of all items in two copies, because every shipment between Greece and Canada is cleared through customs: Canada is outside the European Union. We handle the export customs clearance from Greece together with our partners and tell you in advance what your shipment needs. Import duty and taxes in the destination country are paid by the recipient.

Which documents are needed

• Commercial goods: a commercial invoice with the description and value of each item.
• Personal belongings and gifts: a list of contents with their value.
• Food and olive oil: additional Canadian rules apply. Tell us what you are sending and we tell you what is needed before you book.
• Moving to Canada: a list of all items in two copies, with their value (and make, model and serial number where there is one), split into what you bring with you and what follows later. On arrival the Canadian customs service (CBSA) records it on form BSF186, and items that follow later enter duty-free only if they are written on this list. It covers items you already owned and used before your arrival.
