As important allowances, security and customs processes differ around the world; we recommend that you do your own personal research into what may be prohibited in your destination country. For example, food; food is universally accepted as the best gift for those living abroad and missing home. However, when sending food to Canada, your shipment can experience issues and/or major delays if not properly researched prior to sending. All food imports are controlled by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and they often require some additional paperwork to be attached to your food parcel.

What type of packaging can be used?

When shipping your belongings to Canada with My Baggage, we recommend using either suitcases or strong cardboard boxes. Or, of course, you can use a mixture of both!

We advise against using fragile or expensive suitcases, as they are not covered by our compensation cover. We also recommend that you tape over any handles, etc to protect them. With regards to boxes, it’s always best to invest in a new, sturdy, double-walled (or even triple-walled) cardboard box as they are most durable and suitable for transit.

If you are sending any fragile or delicate items, we recommend using internal packaging to protect them during transit. You can use materials such as bubble wrap or newspapers.
