Canada applies strict regulations to imported goods. To ensure that your parcel clears customs smoothly, follow the steps below:
Customs Declaration Form
Customs documents are mandatory for every parcel shipped to Canada. Happy-Post makes the process easier by providing you with a customs declaration form to complete. You will find it directly in your customer account when creating your shipment. Make sure to describe the nature and value of the goods accurately and in detail.
Taxes and Customs Fees upon Arrival
As mentioned above, Canada’s tax exemption threshold is low, at CAD 20. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) may apply local sales taxes, such as GST, QST, or HST, as well as customs duties. These customs charges are not included in the Happy-Post shipping rate and, in accordance with applicable regulations, must be paid by the recipient upon delivery.
To ensure that your parcel clears customs quickly, it is essential to provide complete and accurate information when shipping a parcel to Canada.
Customs Declaration
Every parcel shipped from France to Canada must be accompanied by a customs declaration stating:
- The precise description of the goods being shipped
- The quantity of each product
- The actual value of the items
- The total weight of the parcel
- The reason for the shipment (gift, sale, return, sample, or personal belongings)
An incomplete or inaccurate declaration may result in delays, additional inspections, or the parcel being refused entry into Canada.
Commercial Invoice and Supporting Documents
For commercial shipments, a commercial invoice is generally required. It allows the Canadian authorities to assess the applicable duties and taxes.
Depending on the nature of the goods, the Canadian customs authorities may request additional documents.
International air transportation can place parcels under considerable strain due to turbulence, handling, and changes in pressure. To prevent damage while shipping your parcel to Canada, follow these essential packaging guidelines:
- Choosing the right box: Use a sturdy, double-wall corrugated cardboard box that is suitable for the weight of your goods. Avoid using old or overly thin boxes.
- Internal cushioning: Do not leave any empty space inside the rcel. Use bubble wrap, air cushions, or kraft paper to keep your items securely in place. Your items should not be able to collide with one another.
- H-taping method: Seal your parcel with wide, heavy-duty packing tape. Use the H-taping method by sealing all openings and edges of the box.
- Clear labeling: Affix the Happy-Post shipping label flat on the top surface of the parcel. Make sure that no tape covers the barcodes so they can be scanned properly during sorting.
Before finalizing your parcel shipment to Canada, you must check that its contents are permitted. The Canada Border Services Agency applies strict controls.
Strictly Prohibited Goods
Certain items cannot be shipped through the Happy-Post network under any circumstances due to air transport safety regulations:
- Flammable, explosive, or corrosive products, including aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, and lithium batteries that are not installed in equipment.
- Weapons, ammunition, and counterfeit goods.
- Perishable or fresh food products, including meat and dairy products.
Regulated or Restricted Goods
Canada actively protects its ecosystem and public health. Certain products require specific authorizations or are subject to strict quotas:
- Non-perishable food products: Cakes, chocolates, and commercially canned goods are generally permitted for personal use, such as gifts, provided they are sealed in their original packaging and include a clear list of ingredients.
- Medicines and health products: These are subject to strict restrictions. Sending prescription medicines to a private individual in Canada is generally prohibited, except in very specific circumstances.
For valuable shipments, it may be advisable to purchase shipping insurance.
Insurance provides compensation in the event of:
- Parcel loss
- Theft
- Damage during transit
- Damage caused by a logistics incident
This option is particularly recommended for goods with a high commercial or sentimental value.

What happens if the recipient is not available in Canada?
If the Canadian delivery driver is unable to hand the parcel directly to the recipient, a delivery notice will be left. The parcel will then be held at a local post office or partner pickup point for a limited period, generally 10 to 15 days, or a second delivery attempt will be scheduled, depending on the final carrier.
Do you deliver to every Canadian province, including Quebec?
Yes, absolutely. Happy-Post delivers to more than 250 destinations worldwide. We cover the entire Canadian territory.

Can I send a bottle of alcohol or wine to Canada?
No. Happy-Post shipping services do not allow individuals to send alcoholic beverages, including wine, champagne, and spirits, to Canada. Alcohol imports into Canada are controlled by provincial government authorities, such as the SAQ in Quebec and the LCBO in Ontario, and require strict commercial import licenses.
What happens if my parcel exceeds the maximum dimensions?
For air transportation to Canada, the combined dimensions of the parcel (length + width + height) must not exceed 150 cm, and no side may exceed 100 cm. If your parcel exceeds these limits or the maximum weight of 25 kg, it cannot be accepted at our Happy-Post warehouse, and you may be charged non-compliance fees or have the parcel returned at your expense. Remember to divide your goods into several parcels where necessary !
