Food is an amazing gift or a great way to pad out a gift package, because no matter where you are in the world, there's a delicious snack that you just can't get your hands on. So if your friends or family in Canada, have had enough bacon, poutine and maple syrup for a while and pine for the taste of home, why not send them some of their favourites from home?
In Canada, any parcels containing food are controlled by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and they require that some foods are shipped with extra paperwork attached.
The CFIA require that certain food imports to Canada that are sent from outside of the USA are sent with import permits and certificates of origin. Nuts, for example, have to be sent with extra documents in order to clear customs. You can request a permit from the CFIA if you wish to send food to Canada.

When sending a parcel to Canada from the UK, your package will be handled multiple times. To ensure that the contents of your package arrive in Canada in the same condition that they left you in, it's vital to properly protect them before you book your shipment.
When packing your goods, there are three things you need to keep in mind:
Used boxes can hide weaknesses which could cause them to burst or collapse in transit, so we recommend using a new box whenever possible. If you're sending something heavier than 10kg then you should get a double-lined box for extra support.
Make sure everything you're sending is individually wrapped. Put a layer of packing peanuts or bubble wrap, on the bottom of the box, then place items on it. Ensure at least 6cm between items and the inside walls of the box, fill gaps with packing material. Nothing should move when you shake the box.
Use proper packing tape and wrap three times round your box in a Union Jack flag pattern, ensuring all joins and corners are covered. Ensure your shipping labels are the only ones securely stuck to the box, as leaving old ones on could lead to your parcel getting lost in transit.
You can send food to Canada with , as long as the goods you're trying to send are non-perishable and still in the original, store bought condition. You won't be able to send anything homemade or frozen however.
Duties and customs are added to a shipment by the Canadian customs agency which has no control or influence on.
Some items are not allowed to be shipped into Canada, and there are also some things that your courier of choice will not carry. You can see what won't carry on our prohibited items list. You can see what Canada doesn't allow on their customs page. It's important to keep in mind that you can't send items like perfume by courier as they are considered hazardous substances.
If you're sending personal effects like luggage to Canada and you're not a Canadian resident, you will have to pay duties and taxes as there are no exemptions for senders who are not Canadian. If you're returning to Canada having been away for less than a year, then you may be eligible for exceptions to duties and taxes.
That depends on the value of the gift – if you're sending a gift worth less than 60 Canadian dollars, then no duties and taxes are applied. If the gift you're sending is worth more than that, then you will only pay duties and taxes on the amount above $60.
