Foreign visitors coming to Canada should study Canadian Customs regulations, in order to make their entry into the province of British Columbia worry free.
Regulations vary and can be quite different from country to country.
All visitors entering B.C., except American citizens, must have in their possession a passport or travel documents. U.S. visitors should have proof of citizenship. Personal effects and wearing apparel that will be used by visitors are allowed into B.C. duty free. Sporting equipment for fishing, camping gear, golf clubs, tape recorders, stereos, cam corders, cameras, and other items that will be used while in B.C. should be declared on entering B.C. Drivers' licenses from the U.S., or from other countries, and international driver's licenses are valid in B.C. Check on the amount of duty-free goods your country allows you to take home from Canada. For complete information about Canadian customs regulations contact the nearest Canadian Consulate or Embassy in your country.
