Shipping Your Equipment From The U.S. to Prince Edward Island
You might have questions when it comes to shipping your equipment from the U.S. to Prince Edward Island, especially if this is the first time.
No problem!
At Heavy Haulers, we're experts in shipping your equipment and oversize loads from the U.S. to Prince Edward Island. Here's what you need to know:
Border Crossings into Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island doesn’t share a land border with the U.S., so equipment must enter Canada through New Brunswick and cross into PEI via one of two options:
-
Confederation Bridge (Route 1)
- • Mainland Access: From New Brunswick (Cape Jourimain) to PEI (Borden-Carleton)
- • Bridge Length: 12.9 km
- • Usage: This is the primary and year-round route for transporting heavy machinery into PEI. All oversize loads must be scheduled and approved in advance.
-
Northumberland Ferries (Wood Islands, PEI ↔ Caribou, NS)
- • Seasonal: Operates May–December
- • Best For: Smaller or time-sensitive shipments during the operating season
- • Limitations: Not suitable for very large or over-dimensional loads

Confederation Bridge Requirements
The Confederation Bridge has specific restrictions for oversize and overweight loads:
- • Width over 12 feet requires prior approval and possibly an escort
- • Height and length restrictions are strictly enforced for safety
- • Travel time is often limited to non-peak hours, especially during windy conditions
- • Wind advisories or closures can delay high-profile or oversize shipments without warning
Heavy Haulers works directly with bridge authorities to schedule safe, approved crossings.
Permits and Paperwork
Shipping equipment across the border means you'll need the right permits. Prince Edward Island has specific requirements for oversize and overweight loads, including:
- • Single Trip Permits for non-divisible loads exceeding legal dimensions or weights.
- • Routing Approvals based on bridge weights, clearances, and road conditions.
- • Commercial Invoices and Customs Documentation for border clearance.
- • Carrier Codes and PARS Labels for Canadian customs tracking.
Our team handles every detail, from obtaining permits to submitting cross-border documents, ensuring your equipment moves legally and efficiently.
Duties, Tariffs, and Taxes
- Customs Duties
- • Most used machinery and equipment is duty-free under the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), provided it meets the rules of origin requirements.
- • Brand-new equipment or equipment made outside the U.S. might still be subject to duty rates, typically ranging from 5% to 9.5%, depending on the classification.
- Goods and Services Tax (GST)
- • All imported goods into Canada are subject to 5% GST, calculated on the total value of the equipment plus duties (if applicable).
- • This tax is paid at the border and is refundable for Canadian businesses registered for GST.
- Excise Taxes
- • Generally not applicable to heavy equipment, but certain specialized or fuel-consuming equipment might be subject to additional levies. Always check the equipment classification.

Seasonal Weight Restrictions
In early spring (typically March–May), PEI enforces spring weight restrictions on many secondary and rural roads. These:
- • Limit allowable axle weights
- • Can impact farm deliveries or construction projects in less developed areas
- • May require special permits or lighter trailer configurations
There are several details to consider when shipping oversize loads to Prince Edward Island. That's why partnering with a reliable company who provides secure trucking services is essential. Call Heavy Haulers today for your free, no-obligation quote! (800) 908-6206
