Hi,
We are getting ready for our DS to attend college in Canada. Can he bring some favorite foods and soda into Canada? We are new to this whole experience so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, lots2do |
are we talking about for the ride up there, or enough for his first semester?
|
I think that the only thing they might give him trouble about is if he took plants. I am not sure about anything else.
|
We were thinking about some things to tide him over for the first semester but don't want to break any rules!
|
Or, I should say a few things to get him started...
|
Call them, all you have to do is call the Canadian border and ask them. When I drove truck they never asked me about any food items, they did a full xray of my truck and trailer. However, it is harder to get back into the US then it was to get into Canada!
|
It is usually a lot easier to cross into Canada than it is coming back into the US. We have crossed many times, but never with a car load. This site answers a lot of questions and gives you a lot of information about what to bring and what has to be declared. Where will you be crossing the border?

don`t think it would be a problem....unless it is alcohol, plants, animals....my sis-in-law often goes across for groceries....wouldn`t it be the same!!

Oh my goodness, when I moved from Calif to NY, when I went from Detroit,into canada I had my truck packed well, the boarder patrol when threw my truck with a fine tooth comb.they don't care how neet you pack, by the time they were done what a mess and they don't clean it up either.
food items were not an issue |
Years ago my cousin who is from Iowa was driving to Alaska through Canada on his honeymoon. He was stopped at the border. He had to mail his gun back home to his Mommy.
