Send Parcel to Canada the Right Way: Checking Out the List of Restricted Items

Meest America ships all sorts of stuff from the USA to Canada. It’s no surprise — being neighbors, people visit each other and swap parcels often. However, Canada has strict rules about bringing in certain goods. It’s smart for every customer to check out the list of prohibited items before you send parcel to Canada. Let’s take a look at them below.

What’s on the No-Go List for International Shipping?

Some items are restricted for good reason, especially regarding air transport. They can cause explosions, fires, or other dangers on planes. For instance, you can’t send package to Canada from USA if it contains lithium batteries, spray paints, aerosols, or even innocent-seeming stuff like nail polish. These items pose serious risks.

Customs in both the sender and recipient countries monitor items that are forbidden for import. If prohibited goods are found, the shipping company must alert the authorities and provide all necessary information about the sender. Knowing these rules is crucial to avoid any hiccups when you send your parcel.
