Please be advised that the import requirements can change on a daily basis due to emerging threats. Importers or the person in possession, or care and control of the goods are responsible for ensuring that their goods comply with the requirements of all government departments and agencies prior to importation into Canada.
Under certain conditions, as described in CBSA D3-series memoranda , shipments may be allowed to move inland, in-bond, where formal release procedures will be followed and compliance with the requirements of other government departments verified. A customs transaction number is mandatory for all import requests and must appear on the CFIA form.
All documentation submitted to the CBSA must be true, accurate and complete, and may require taxonomic names to be provided e. Note : For plants, animals, and microorganisms, instructions for completing the commodity description field on the commercial invoice are found in Appendix A of Memorandum D, CBSA Invoice Requirements.
Where applicable, commercial and traveller importations must also meet the CFIA's labelling requirements. The CFIA regulates packaging, labelling, composition, and net quantity requirements for most foods under the following Acts and their associated regulations:. For the purposes of this memorandum, "in-transit" is defined as the movement of foreign goods through Canadian territory from a point outside Canada to another foreign point. Where an importer or the person in possession, care and control of the goods fails to remove goods that have been ordered removed from Canada within the specified time period, the goods become forfeit to the crown.
Seized, abandoned or forfeited goods will be dealt with in accordance with the legislation that controls, regulates or prohibits the importation of the commodity. Goods that are abandoned or forfeited to another government department remain the responsibility of that department. Wood packaging material WPM is defined as wood or wood products used in supporting, protecting or carrying a commodity, and includes dunnage. All ship borne dunnage within a container, on a flat-rack etc.
Note: Phytosanitary certificates are not accepted from China, but are still acceptable from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Under certain, limited conditions, shipments containing a minor amount of non-compliant WPM may either: a be deconsolidated, or b have the non-compliant WPM separated from the associated cargo and replaced with compliant WPM.
Once the non-compliant WPM is removed and arrangements have been made for its disposal in accordance with CFIA regulations, the shipment will be eligible for release into Canada, providing the shipment also meets all other Canadian import requirements.
The option to deconsolidate or separate is only available at the discretion of the CBSA port of entry and is contingent upon the nature of the non-compliance and the capacity of the port of entry facilities to handle deconsolidation or separation. Deconsolidation or separation is never an option when there are live wood-boring pests or signs of live wood-boring pests. Any WPM found with live wood-boring pests or signs of live wood-boring pests will be contained and sealed to prevent the risk of pest escape, ordered treated and removed from Canada.
Ship borne dunnage, which is wood carried on a marine vessel and used to secure or support a commodity but which does not remain with the commodity, is currently inadmissible to Canada, regardless of any ISPM 15 markings, treatment or certificates.

Live animals imported into Canada must be handled and transported in a humane manner that prevents injury and unnecessary suffering. Any suspected humane transport issues or instances where the animal appears to be downed, injured, sick or unhealthy will be referred to a CFIA veterinarian.

Empty conveyances entering Canada after transporting live terrestrial animals in a foreign country must have been cleaned in accordance with the Health of Animals Regulations. Non-compliant conveyances will be refused entry into Canada. Under the Health of Animals Regulations there are additional information requirements that must be declared upon entry, including the scientific or taxonomic names for finfish, crustaceans, and molluscs.
