Removals from Argentina from Canada
The phrase Removals from Argentina from Canada usually covers both directions:

Our network helps with:
- Export packing and pickup in Canada or Argentina
- Sea or air freight between the two countries
- Customs support and local delivery at destination
Using the same company for each direction gives you consistent service and a known process. So your return move feels easier than the first one.

Door to Door Air, Sea and Land Freight Options from Canada to Argentina
Every shipment has its own mix of budget and urgency. Because of that, we offer Door to Door Air, Sea and Land Freight Options from Canada to Argentina.
Main Freight Options
Mode | Best For | Approx. Transit Time* | Typical Use |
Air Freight | Very urgent, smaller volume | 5–10 days | Important documents, laptops, few boxes |
LCL Sea Freight (Shared) | 1–10 m³ | 6–9 weeks | Students, partial households, trial relocations |
FCL 20ft Container | ~18–28 m³ | 6–9 weeks | 1–2 bedroom apartment |
FCL 40ft Container | ~33–58 m³ | 6–9 weeks | 3–4+ bedroom home |
*Transit time is port-to-port. Door-to-door timing is slightly longer because of local pickup, customs and final delivery.
We combine:
- Land trucking in Canada from your home to port/airport
- Sea or air transport to Argentina
- Local trucking in Argentina from port to your new home
This full chain creates real door-to-door international moving instead of leaving you stuck at the port with a container you cant move.
Insurance Coverage for International Moves
Even with expert packing and trustworthy carriers, long international journeys always carry a bit of risk. Containers move across oceans, weather can change quickly, and accidents sometimes happen. Because of this, Insurance Coverage for International Moves is very important.
We help you choose:
- Total Loss Insurance – covers if the entire shipment is lost (for example ship sinking, very rare but possible)
- All Risk Insurance – covers individual items for loss or damage, based on declared value
You normally:
- Prepare a detailed valued inventory of your goods in CAD
- Select the insurance type and deductible level
- Pay the insurance premium before loading day
Many policies cost around 2%–4% of the total declared value. While it adds a bit to the budget, it protects you from much bigger financial loss if something serious goes wrong in transit.

Typical Sea Routes
Most sea shipments travel:

FAQs – Shipping Household Goods from Canada to Argentina
Most sea freight shipments of household goods from Canada to Argentina take roughly 6–9 weeks port-to-port. With door pickup and final delivery included, you usually look at 7–11 weeks door-to-door. Air freight is quicker and often arrives in 5–10 days, depending on space and customs speed.
For a normal 3-bedroom family home using a 40ft container, many customers see ballpark prices of about $11,500–$15,800 CAD door-to-door. The final cost depends on your volume, pickup and delivery access, insurance, packing level and time of year.
Yes, almost always sea freight is cheaper than air for large household moves. Air charges mainly by weight and volume, so shipping full furniture and many boxes by air gets extremely expensive. Because of that, most people ship their main belongings by sea and maybe a small urgent part by air.
Absolutely, you can. You do not need a full container. We provide LCL (Less than Container Load) sea shipments and small air freight services for just a few boxes or suitcases. This option is popular with students, short–term workers and people testing life in Argentina first.
You usually need:
- Passport copy
- Visa, residence permit or work permit (or proof of process)
- Detailed inventory list of the items you are shipping
- Shipping documents which we arrange (bill of lading or air waybill)
- Sometimes proof you lived outside Argentina for a certain period
Our team explains the latest document rules in simple words and helps you prepare everything before shipping.
In many cases, used household goods and personal effects imported as part of a genuine relocation may receive some duty or tax relief, depending on your status and timing. However, Argentina’s customs rules can change and may be strict. We give general guidance, but final decisions always come from Argentinian customs authorities.
Yes, some items are restricted or prohibited. You should avoid shipping:
- Weapons, ammunition and explosives
- Illegal drugs and certain controlled medicines
- Many flammable liquids, aerosols and chemicals
- Some food, plant and animal products
- Counterfeit goods or pirated media
Before packing, we share an updated list of items to avoid so your shipment passes customs more smoothly.
We use strong cartons, bubble wrap, foam and made–to–fit packing for electronics. TVs and monitors usually travel in special cartons or custom crating. Our crews label fragile items clearly and load them with care. This reduces vibration damage and shock during long transport.
Basic carrier liability might be included but it is very limited and often not enough for a full home. For better protection, we recommend separate transit insurance, either total loss or all risk, based on your declared value in CAD. We explain each option and help you choose what fits your risk comfort and budget.
