How it works

Photograph each room. An AI model lists the goods it sees, with a customs-style description, a category and a used value in Canadian dollars. Items appear within a couple of minutes.
Review every line. Edit descriptions and prices, move items between List A (goods you bring with you) and List B (goods to follow), or delete them. Your edits are final: later photos only add new items and never change yours.
Add your vehicles. Scan the VIN barcode on the door jamb or windshield, or type it. The app looks up year, make and model.
Fill in your importer profile once: name, addresses, status, arrival date and port of entry.
Export one PDF: the filled BSF186, the itemized attachment, and a photo appendix captioned with the items each photo shows. Share it or save it to Files. Walk up to the border with one complete form - and nothing you forgot to list.

Doing it on paper instead? See the BSF186 app versus filling the form by hand, or versus a spreadsheet inventory.

What you get

One PDF. This sample is a free export with a made-up importer, so it carries the VOID watermark.

Exported BSF186 PDF, page 1: the filled form with importer details, summary lines, a vehicle and the Former Resident box ticked, with a VOID watermark — The filled BSF186

Exported BSF186 PDF: itemized attachment with List A, goods accompanying, and List B, goods to follow, with totals and the vehicle, and a VOID watermark — Itemized List A and List B

The export also has a second copy of List B for the officer to stamp, and a photo appendix with each photo captioned by the items it shows. A photo pack export is clean and fillable.

Price

Free	20 photos and one vehicle. Exports carry a red VOID watermark, so you can check the result before you pay.
Photo pack, $25	One in-app purchase: 200 photo credits and a clean, fillable BSF186. Each pack also raises the vehicle limit.

Each photo uses one credit. Editing items, adding vehicles and exporting again never cost credits. A photo that fails to process gives its credit back. Unused credits are blocked after your final (paid) export; adding photos after that needs another pack.

Private by design

Photos are encrypted with a key that exists only for your account.
Photos taken in the app are never saved to your photo library.
Data is stored on Amazon Web Services in the United States.
Settings → Delete account removes all your data from our servers.
No ads, no third-party analytics, no tracking.

Will CBSA accept this?

The app gives you a complete BSF186 in the structure the form asks for: your importer details, List A (goods you bring with you), List B (goods to follow), your vehicles, an itemized attachment and a photo appendix. It is the same form you would fill in by hand, typed out and itemized.

What the app cannot promise is the border services officer's decision. The officer can ask about any item, and the form is yours: you sign it and you answer for it.

That is why nothing goes on the form without you seeing it first:

Every item the AI lists is a draft. You review each line, fix descriptions and values, and move items between List A and List B.
Your edits are final. Later photos only add new items and never change the ones you corrected.
The free export carries a VOID watermark, so you can check the whole form before you pay.
Before you sign, add serial numbers and correct quantities, as the officer may ask for them.

One real crossing so far

On October 10, 2026, our co-founder Ricardo moved back to Canada from Washington State through the Pacific Highway port of entry (Blaine, WA - Surrey, BC) with two 26-foot trucks of household goods, a car, a motorcycle, a motorhome, a boat and two trailers. He used a test build of the app: 282 items on List A and List B. The form was accepted with no problems. Read his crossing.

Where we have talked about this: Ricardo on LinkedIn, October 20, 2026.

Important

BSF186 is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Canada Border Services Agency or the Government of Canada. Values are estimates. Review every item, add serial numbers and correct quantities before you sign and submit the form. Vehicle notes are general information, not legal advice; vehicles must also meet Transport Canada import rules.

Who makes BSF186

BSF186 is built by Patricia and Ricardo Guimaraes at Maragato Coaching Corp, a small software company they started in Brazil in 2009 and moved to Canada in 2018.

We built BSF186 for our own move. In 2026 we were moving our family back to Canada from Washington State: two trucks of furniture, boxes and tools, plus six vehicles, all to go on one BSF186. Typing that list by hand meant hundreds of lines, values in Canadian dollars, and the worry of forgetting something at the border. So we built an app that makes the list from photos, used it for our own crossing at Pacific Highway, and fixed what we found.
