Just about any good may be imported into Canada by anyone, subject to compliance with certain conditions imposed by the federal and, sometimes, provincial government(s). The people who actually enforce all these conditions at the border are the Border Service Officers. However, they will not be able to give you specific information until you tell them what kind of things you wish to import, and from what country. Here is an idea of the kind of conditions we are referring to:

is the article prohibited entry into Canada? This covers a narrow range of goods prohibited under annex VII of the Customs Tariff, e.g. hate literature and pornography. It also covers goods that we in DFAIT keep out persuant to international sanctions.

That is also when DFAIT comes in: by virtue of the Export and Import Permits Act, we control imports of textiles and clothing, steel, wheat, barley and their products, supply-managed farmproducts (dairy, chicken, eggs, turkey), firearms and suchlike, and a few miscellaneous items. These are all found on the Import Control List. If you wish to import a textile or clothing article, call (613) 996-3711 for information about how to get an import permit. If you wish to import an agricultural good on the Import Control List, call (613) 995-8104. For steel, call us to get a permit on request, or call any customs broker. For endangered species and their products, call the Canadian Wildlife Service (613) 997-1840. For information about firearms, call (613) 992-0478.

/ G# C, s! }* gis the article subject to some other federally-imposed condition? For example, goods for retail sale have to comply with labelling laws; motor vehicles have to meet emission control standards; food and agricultural products have to pass the necessary health and sanitary checks. Customs can usually advise you on this, but you can refer to the useful telephone numbers list below.

For example, all electrical appliances and equipment must be certified by a recognized certification body before they can be sold in Canada. Consult the list of certification bodies accredited by the Standards Council of Canada and consult the SCC Web site or send an e-mail to establish whether your product is subject to testing or certification requirements in Canada.
