I've moved several systems from Canada to the Bay area recently. I used an Allied Van Lines licensee (Tippet-Richardson) and they were very helpful with customs etc. However, the Allied agent on this end was learning the ropes and this caused several delays which it would have been nice to avoid. In a nutshell I just called around asking if the transport company had a "blanket wrapping service" (where they wrap the systems in moving blankets) and then got a quote. You might also ask your CE (do those still exist?) or hardware maintenance supplier. At the Computer Museum History Center we use North American Van Lines and they do a GREAT job. Last year they moved about 100 tons (yes 200,000 lbs! I think it came to at least 5 very large tractor trailer loads) of equipment for us cross-country without a hitch. Good Luck!
