The Canadian Border Service Agency said that all meat products are prohibited from entering the country, considering that meat and other livestock products can spread bird flu or other animal diseases, which will affect agricultural production and food safety. Even if jiaozi is cooked, the customs can't confirm whether it is completely disinfected.
Heavy punishment and detention for high jewelry
If jewelry and watches are caught and not declared, they will not only be fined by the customs, but also spend extra money to redeem them. At the end of 2065438+2004, two China men wrapped jewelry worth 6,543,800 yuan around their legs in an attempt to get away with it. As a result, they were detained by the Canadian Border Service Agency for eight days on charges of smuggling and resisting arrest, and they were fined 1 10,000 yuan, and they also had to pay a fine for redeeming jewelry, with a maximum of about 280,000 yuan.
CBSA reiterated that if the money brought into China exceeds 1 10,000, it must be declared. The money mentioned here is not only cash, but also financial products, traveler's checks, promissory notes, foreign currency and so on.
There is no charge for entry declaration, as long as it is proved to be legal income, it can be brought into Canada. But if you don't declare or can't prove the source, it will be confiscated. However, if you don't declare it, you can't prove the source of the money. Worst of all, you will be charged with violating the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act.
Luxury goods such as jewelry and watches must be declared, and the local receipt or appraisal certificate of jewelry and watches must be brought with you before departure to avoid being taxed.
If you want to avoid trouble, you can also register valuable photographic equipment and sporting goods at the local airport on the day of entry or before going abroad.
