The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reminds Canadians picking up parcels in the United States this season to know the contents and value of their parcels before re-entering Canada.
All travellers are responsible for the goods in their possession when they cross the border, regardless of whether or not the item(s) belongs to them.
CBSA encourages travellers to know what they are picking up before they leave home and open the parcels before arriving at the border. They are also advised to bring an extra copy of the purchase invoice along since some shippers may not include one in the package. There is also the fundamental need to declare everything being brought into Canada to the CBSA officer.
Another reminder for travellers is the fact that the poultry ban is still
in effect for those thinking of bringing turkeys or chickens et al back into Canada.
