Importaciones y aduanas — Canada

La exencion libre de impuestos de CAD $200 / $800 de la que seguramente ha leido no le corresponde a usted. La CBSA concede exenciones personales unicamente a residentes canadienses, ex residentes y residentes temporales que regresan al pais; un visitante estadounidense no tiene ninguna. Usted declara lo que trae y paga los aranceles e impuestos correspondientes.

Original (EN): The CAD $200 / $800 duty-free exemption you have probably read about does not apply to you. CBSA grants personal exemptions only to Canadian residents, former residents and temporary residents coming home - a US visitor gets none of them. You declare what you are carrying and pay duty and tax on what is assessable.

Declare todo alimento, planta y producto de origen animal que lleve consigo, incluida su mascota. Si no lo hace, la CBSA puede confiscarlo y multarlo con hasta CAD $1.300. Desde EE. UU. puede traer hasta 20 kg de carne, pero solo envasada para venta al por menor y etiquetada "Product of USA": la carne procedente de una granja o de un gallinero domestico nunca esta permitida, por poca que sea.

Original (EN): Declare every piece of food, plant and animal product you are carrying, including your pet. If you do not, CBSA can seize it and fine you up to CAD $1,300. From the US you may bring up to 20 kg of meat, but only retail-packaged and labelled "Product of USA" - meat from a farm or a backyard flock is never allowed, no matter how little of it you have.

Up to CAD $1,300 for failing to declare food, plant or animal products, and the goods may be seized. Quantities above the personal-use limits attract the over-access rate of duty; CBSA notes travellers may instead return the excess to the United States.
