Main Freight Choices
Mode | Ideal For | Approx. Transit Time* | Typical Use |

FCL 20ft Container | ~15–28 m³ | 5–8 weeks | 1–2 bedroom apartment |
FCL 40ft Container | ~30–58 m³ | 5–8 weeks | 3–4+ bedroom home |
*Transit time is port-to-port. Full door-to-door duration is slightly longer because of local trucking and customs.
We combine:
- Land trucking in Canada from your home to the port or airport
- Sea or air freight to Sweden
- Land trucking in Sweden from port to your residence
So you receive a complete door-to-door solution, not just a port shipment that leaves you stuck searching for local help.
Insurance Coverage for International Moves
Even with careful packing and good carriers, long-distance moves always carry some risk: rough seas, handling mistakes, or rare accidents. That is why Insurance Coverage for International Moves is strongly recommended.
We can help you arrange:
- Total Loss Insurance – covers only if the whole shipment is lost
- All Risk Insurance – covers individual items for loss or damage, based on declared value
Usually you:
- Prepare a detailed valued inventory of your goods in CAD
- Choose coverage type and deductible
- Pay insurance premium before the move date
As a rough guide, many policies cost about 2%–4% of the total declared value. This cost is small compared to the value of your entire home, yet it gives you peace of mind during the trip to Sweden.

FAQs – Shipping Household Goods from Canada to Sweden
Most sea freight shipments from Canada to Sweden take around 5–8 weeks port-to-port. When you include pickup and final delivery, total door-to-door time is usually 6–10 weeks. Air freight is faster and may arrive within 5–10 days, but it is more expensive.
For a typical 3-bedroom home using a 40ft container, many families see costs in the range of about $10,500–$14,500 CAD door-to-door. The final price depends on the exact distance, volume, access at both homes, and the level of service you choose.
Yes, usually sea freight is cheaper than air freight when you ship household goods and furniture. Air freight charges by weight and volume, so big shipments become very costly. Therefore most families send the majority of their belongings by sea and only a small urgent part by air.
Absolutely. You don’t need a full container. We offer LCL (Less than Container Load) and small air freight options for a few boxes or suitcases. This service is great for students, digital nomads and young professionals who travel light.
Normally you need:
- Copy of passport
- Residence or work permit (or proof of application)
- Detailed inventory / packing list
- Proof of previous residence outside the EU in some cases
- Shipping documents we prepare (bill of lading or air waybill)
We guide you through all document steps so you are not lost in paperwork.
Often used personal effects and household goods imported due to relocation can qualify for duty or tax relief, if you meet Swedish customs rules. Conditions can depend on how long you lived outside the EU, when you bring the goods in, and how you will use them. We explain the general rules, but Swedish customs always has final word.
Yes, some items are restricted or prohibited, for example:
- Weapons and ammunition
- Illegal drugs or certain controlled medicines
- Some chemicals, aerosols and flammable liquids
- Certain plants, seeds and animal products
- Counterfeit products
Before you pack, we provide an updated list and advise what to leave behind to avoid issues at customs.
We use:
- Strong double-wall cartons
- Bubble wrap, foam, and packing paper
- Special TV cartons and computer packing methods
- Custom wooden crates for very fragile or high-value items
Moreover, our crew labels fragile boxes clearly and loads them carefully. This way, delicate items have much higher chance to arrive in good condition.
Basic carrier liability might be included, but it gives very limited coverage. For proper protection, we recommend separate transit insurance where you declare the value of your goods in CAD. We explain the options (total loss or all risk) and help you choose what fits your budget and risk comfort.
It’s simple:
- Contact us by phone, email or online form
- Tell us your origin and destination cities
- Share your planned move date and home size
- Mention any special items (piano, artwork, large TV, etc.)
We will then prepare a free, no-obligation quote in CAD for your move from Canada to Sweden, with clear details and no hidden surprises.
