Send parcels to Canada

Every country has a list of items that they don’t permit, thanks to food, health and safety or environmental restrictions. Equally, many couriers have their own lists of items that they don’t take – check out Parcelcompare’s restricted items list . Canada has made it easy to see whether whatever is being shipped is restricted with their reference system – just enter your item to find out if there are any restriction about importing it.
There are also some goods that are totally banned from import into Canada:

• Obscene or Pornographic material

• Coins and cash

• Counterfeit goods

• Anything made or crafted in prisons

• Used mattresses or cushioning from used mattresses

• Items that misrepresent their place of origin

• Second-hand cars

• White phosphorous matches

• Anything goods that might include hate speech or sedition

These goods are all banned from import into Canada, and should be noted in conjunction with ParcelCompare’s own list of prohibited goods, and the items forbidden by the IATA.
