Do I need to fill out a customs form for Canada?
Before arriving in Canada, you may be requested to fill out a Customs Declaration Card. Complete this card before dealing with customs and immigration officials, even if you are not a Canadian citizen.
If you’re traveling by air, it’s a good idea to complete the card before you leave the airplane. You also should apply for a Canada ETA before traveling to Canada
What to declare
Use the Customs Declaration Card to declare what you’re bringing into Canada, including any:
- items you must pay duty on, such as gifts, alcohol, and tobacco.
- amount of money more than CDN $10,000.
- business goods, plants, food, animals, firearms, or other weapons.
Don’t use this form to list personal and household goods you’re bringing with you or are following you to Canada. You’ll show your lists of those items separately to a customs officer.
Declare all items
If you don’t tell an official that you’re carrying items or money that should be declared, you may be fined or put in prison.
