Note If you want to participate in similar programs for entering the U.S. in locations where such programs exist, you have to apply separately to U.S. customs and immigration. You have to comply with the Customs Act and regulations, the Immigration Act and regulations, and any other laws or regulations enforced by either department. If you violate these laws or regulations, you can be severely penalized. We will strictly enforce the law. We designed special traveller declaration cards for Canadian participants to use when duties and taxes are payable on personal goods brought back to Canada.
All travellers can import goods for their own personal use.
U.S. residents have to return all goods to the U.S. unless they consume them in Canada. You cannot import controlled, restricted, or prohibited animals, plants, or goods as described in the publications called I Declare , for Canadian residents, and Customs Information for Visitors to Canada and Seasonal Residents , for U.S. residents.
