Canada rules to know before you pack
Food is regulated by CFIA
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulates food coming into Canada. Meat products and some dairy items from India are restricted, so tell us before packing any non-veg or milk-based item.
Prescription drugs are restricted
Health Canada says Canadian residents are generally not permitted to import prescription drugs by mail or courier. Ask us with the medicine names first.
Duty and GST/HST
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) may charge duty and GST/HST on courier imports. Gifts have only a small tax-free allowance, so the receiver may pay something on arrival.
Postal code matters
Canadian postal codes look like “M5V 2T6”. Include the province and the unit or apartment number for condos and basements.
Documents needed
- Your ID proof (KYC): a copy of your Aadhaar, passport or PAN card. Courier exports from India are declared electronically under CBIC’s courier regulations, and the sender’s identity is part of that declaration.
- Contents list: every item with quantity and a fair value, for example “3 cotton kurtas” or “1 kg mango pickle, homemade”. Mark gifts as gifts.
- Receiver’s details: full name, unit or apartment number, street, city, province, postal code (format A1A 1A1) and a Canadian phone number.
- Business shipments: a commercial invoice, plus the exporter’s IEC and GST details where they apply.
More detail in our guide to documents for international courier.
Packing tips for Canada
- Use a strong, right-sized carton. A box that is too big adds volumetric weight.
- Seal jars with cling film under the lid, tape the lid, then double-bag each jar in zip-lock bags.
- Vacuum-seal or double-bag sweets, snacks and spices so smells and oil stay inside.
- Wrap fragile items separately and fill every gap so nothing moves.
- Write the receiver’s address and phone clearly, and put a copy inside the box.
Step by step: how to pack a parcel for international courier.
Items you cannot send
Every carrier and country keeps its own list, but these are refused almost everywhere:
- Cash, currency, cheques and precious metals
- Weapons, ammunition, explosives and fireworks
- Flammable items: lighters, matches, fuel, paints, many aerosols and perfumes
- Loose lithium batteries and e-cigarettes
- Narcotics and any medicine not checked with us first
- Counterfeit goods and anything illegal in Canada
Medicines have special rules: read sending medicines abroad.
How the price works
We do not publish a fixed rate card because carrier rates change. The courier price to Canada depends on the carrier and the chargeable weight: whichever is higher of the actual weight and the volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is length × width × height (cm) ÷ 5000. For example, a 50 × 54 × 34 cm box has a volumetric weight of 18.36 kg, even if it weighs less on the scale. Try your box:
Send us the weight, box size and contents on WhatsApp and we will share today’s price for Canada.
