Why Is Canada So Strict About Imports?
Over 90% of package hold-ups and failures result from these common mistakes:
- Using general cargo routes for sensitive items
- Improper declaration or vague item descriptions
- Choosing unqualified and ultra-low-cost shipping agents
Know Your Product Type: What Counts as “Sensitive Goods”?
General Goods
Items with no special handling requirements. Examples include clothing, books, and non-liquid goods.
Built-in Lithium Battery Devices
Examples: smartphones, tablets, Bluetooth earbuds. Must not exceed 100Wh, and must be individually packed and insulated.
Plug-in Devices (No Batteries)
Examples: electric kettles, hair dryers. Can be shipped via general cargo routes.
Pure Battery Products (High-Risk)
Examples: power banks. Not allowed if exceeding 100Wh; requires specialized channels if within limits.
