Importing by Mail

Your Requirements as a Sender

If you are mailing goods to Canada, you must make a proper declaration in order to enable border services officers to accurately assess the goods.

You do this by completing Form CN23, Customs Declaration Form or Form CN22, Customs Declaration Form. On these forms, you must provide
the following:

• your complete name and address;
• the recipient’s complete name and address; and
• a detailed description of the contents of the parcel along with its value and country of origin.

If these requirements are not met, the parcel may be returned to you.
