20 18 Precautions for Carrying Entry and Exit Articles in Singapore Tourism

The Canadian Customs Bureau has strict regulations on the articles carried in and out of the country, and the articles carried must be declared to avoid getting into trouble. Dear, let me sort out the precautions for carrying entry and exit articles in Singapore on 20 18.

First, declare if you are not sure.

At this time of year, many friends will happily bring many gifts or items. I didn't expect to be fined, confiscated and even blacklisted as soon as I entered the country. What a disappointment.

Therefore, the wisest thing to do is: as long as you are not sure whether your belongings can be brought into Canada, you must remember to declare them truthfully when you enter the customs. In this case, no matter whether the gift can be brought home in the end, at least it will not be fined or even prosecuted by the customs.

According to the law, passengers must declare all the food, animals and plants and related products in the declaration card when entering the country. Even this allowed item needs to be declared.

In addition, even if the following items are allowed, they may need to provide entry documents and may need to apply for permission and/or certificate of origin in advance: any meat products and dairy products; And dried fruits, plants, fruits and live animals.

For the convenience of readers, we have compiled the relevant laws and regulations of Canada Border Service Agency, Canada Food Inspection Agency, Health Canada and other departments on carrying inbound articles.

2. Can Chinese herbal medicines and condiments enter the country?

Herbs, spices, tea, coffee beans and spices can all be brought into Canada.

There are many kinds of condiments, and gourmets who are good at cooking feast on them.

People in China who admire Chinese medicine can also safely carry Chinese herbal medicines (except those which are determined to be toxic and restricted by the Ministry of Health).

However, it should be noted that Chinese herbal medicine refers to dried or frozen medicinal materials, not fresh plants or Chinese patent medicines, and must not contain any ingredients similar to bark. Because fresh medicinal materials and bark are generally prohibited from entering the country, Chinese patent medicines are over-the-counter and have strict requirements.

The duty-free quota of cigarettes and alcohol is limited.

Cigarettes, alcohol and medicines are all things that China immigrants often like to bring back to Canada after returning home. At the same time, it is also a strictly restricted item. Tobacco and alcohol can only be exempted from customs duties within a certain amount.

Liquor, not exceeding 65,438+0.5 liters of wine, or 65,438+0.65,438+04 liters of spirits, or at most 8.5 liters of beer. If it exceeds the quantity, it will be taxed.

Cigarettes, cigarette products that can be brought into Canada for personal use, can only be five at most (1 including 200 cigarettes, or 50 cigars, or 200 grams of cut tobacco); But there can only be one tax exemption at most. However, Canadian-made cigarettes purchased from duty-free shops are not subject to duty-free or quantity restrictions.

In short, tobacco and alcohol can be brought into the country as long as they are declared, but the tax paid is uncertain.

According to the customs law, if people fail to declare cigarettes and alcohol when entering the country, their articles will be confiscated forever.

In addition, although the duty-free quota for individuals who leave the country for more than 2 days is 800 yuan, the duty-free quota for gifts (non-tobacco and alcohol) is only 60 yuan.

Fourth, drug access requirements are strict.

Drugs, Canada is generally allowed to bring a course of treatment or 90-day supply of drugs into the country for personal use. However, it varies according to the identity of immigrants and whether they are prescription drugs.

If you are a tourist, you can bring prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs that meet the requirements when entering the country.

If you are a Canadian resident, you can bring non-prescription drugs that meet the requirements; However, prescription drugs need to be approved by the Ministry of Health according to the situation.

Requirements for taking medicine: First of all, it must be for personal use, and it cannot exceed one course of treatment or 90-day supply. At the same time, prescription drugs must be packaged in hospitals or pharmacies, with the original label of the instructions for use, or in retail packaging. The same is true for the packaging of over-the-counter drugs. (Prescriptions, packages and instructions should be translated into English or English)

In addition, it should be noted that Canadian residents are prohibited by law from importing any prescription drugs by mail or express delivery.

If you are not sure whether the drugs you are carrying comply with Canadian laws and regulations, it is recommended to contact Health Canada for verification before traveling.
