Canada

Travellers arriving in Canada must declare all goods acquired abroad, including purchases, gifts, prizes, duty-free shop purchases and goods shipped to follow. On commercial aircraft the transporter provides a paper Form E311, CBSA Declaration Card to complete before landing; the card is also used at some locations for arrivals by train, boat or bus, may list up to four travellers living at the same address, and each traveller is responsible for their own declaration. The E311 PDF on the CBSA website is a specimen only and may not be used for reporting. Arriving in a private vehicle usually means an oral declaration; major international airports use primary inspection kiosks and eGates with an on-screen declaration. Advance Declaration in ArriveCAN is optional, letting travellers submit the customs and immigration declaration before flying into Canada at participating airports. Eligible returning Canadian residents may claim personal exemption amounts set by absence length within this declaration; reporting currency of CAN$10,000 or more is a separate obligation (see CA-currency-declaration).
