Importing by Mail

Mailing Goods to Canada While Abroad

If you choose to mail goods back to Canada instead of carrying them with you while travelling abroad, be sure to declare these goods on Form E24, Personal Exemption Customs Declaration, when you return to Canada.

Remember to keep a copy of the form as you will need it to claim the goods; otherwise, you may have to pay duty and taxes on them.

Also, keep all related documents, such as sales receipts, in case duty and taxes are assessed by mistake and you would like to ask for a review.
