In fact, when entering Canada, the immigration inspection is relatively strict. If you don’t know whether the items you are carrying can be brought into Canada, you need to declare the items so that you can enter Canada smoothly. What kind of food can you bring to Canada while studying abroad?

Canada? I have also compiled relevant information for you.

1. Meat, poultry, and related foods are almost never allowed to enter the country.

Except when entering from the United States, which can bring no more than 20 kilograms, other countries are not allowed to bring any meat including dried meat, meat floss, etc., as well as poultry, and related foods.

Animal fats are also prohibited.

However, products that have been sterilized and vacuum-packed by the manufacturer, as well as sterilized canned meat, can enter the country. Of course, you must remember to declare them (there is a precedent of Chinese vacuum-packaged roast chicken and duck being seized by customs).

Poultry eggs such as quail eggs and chicken eggs, as well as food favorites of Chinese people such as bird's nests and bird's nests, are strictly prohibited from entry.

The Canadian Border Agency usually strengthens inspections during the New Year, so Chinese nationals need to pay attention when returning to Canada.

2. Baby food, including baby milk powder, is allowed into the country.

But it can only be in commercial packaging, sterilely processed, and can only be used for personal use.

Each person can carry up to 20 kilograms.

3. Dried fruits, dried vegetables, canned or frozen fruits and vegetables; baked goods and candies (must not contain meat).

All can enter.

Each person can bring up to 20 kilograms of such items.

4. Dairy products.

For countries outside the United States, the only thing that can be brought back to Canada is cheese.

Each person can bring up to 20 kilograms, and the value does not exceed 20 yuan.

Remember: Milk and milk products (whey, cream, skim milk, butter, etc.), whether fresh, frozen or dried, are not allowed to be brought into the country.

(Unless you are entering Canada from the United States, dairy products of 20 kilograms and less than 20 yuan can be entered.) 5. Seafood products.

Any fish and seafood, except pufferfish and hairy crabs, whether raw or cooked, can be imported.

Even susceptible aquatic animals do not need to apply for an import permit as long as they do not exceed the following quantity limits: 10 dead finned fish without evisceration; 4 crustaceans with heads (crabs, lobsters, etc.); 3 kilograms of molluscs

(Oysters, clams, clams, etc.).

However, if you want to import aquatic animals that exceed the above quantity and are susceptible to bacterial infection, you need to apply for a written permission from the Food Inspection Bureau in advance, and you can only enter the country with the permission.

Don’t bring fruits and vegetables that are owned by Canada. There are many restrictions on entering fresh fruits and vegetables.

Fruits that can grow in Canada, such as apples, pears, strawberries, blueberries, etc., are generally not allowed to be brought into the country.

However, tropical fruits such as dragon fruit and pineapple are allowed to enter.

Tuber crops such as yams, potatoes, sweet potatoes, sugar beets, etc. are not allowed to enter the country.

Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and other vegetables are not allowed to enter the country.

The Canadian Border Agency stated that it will strictly inspect contraband during the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, unless they are tropical fruits that are not grown in Canada, do not bring them into customs.

Plants are refused entry. Almost all flowers, trees, plants, and seeds, including chrysanthemums and bamboos, are not allowed to enter the country.

Even dirt is not allowed entry.

Even potted plants that are allowed to enter must have their soil removed.

Cut flowers, not used for propagation, may be admitted.

However, there are strict restrictions depending on the origin and species.

Therefore, it is best not to bring such items into customs.

In addition, like leather products, only tanned hides and leather products are allowed to be brought in.

Wooden souvenirs are also allowed, but they must not contain bark, insects or traces of insect activity.

"Don't reveal your wealth to others" won't work. You must declare it when entering the customs. "Don't reveal your wealth to others" has always been a Chinese tradition, but at least when entering customs, this way is blocked.

Entrants must declare truthfully, otherwise the consequences may be serious.

Canadian Customs stipulates that those carrying $10,000 or more in cash when entering the country must declare it.

Between April 2011 and June 2012 alone, Vancouver Airport Customs confiscated $15 million in undeclared excess cash from passengers, two-thirds of which were from mainland China.

Valuable items must be declared upon entry. News often appears in the newspapers about Chinese people who bring luxury watches, bags, and jewelry upon entry and are inspected, confiscated, fined, or even charged with crimes.

The reason is that unless valuable items are recognized as personal items, additional duties will be paid for the portion exceeding the duty-free amount.

In addition, even if you have luxury watches and jewelry before leaving the country, if they have been processed after you return, they will be regarded as new items that need to be declared.

Border Agency official Attila Szelay said that when bringing jewelry into customs, prepare a jewelry list in advance and indicate the jewelry brand, value, serial number, etc. to avoid trouble or suspicion of unknown origin.
