What happens if I bring back an item that is not allowed?

The prohibited item will be taken away from you at Canada Customs. There are other penalties as well, like fines and even jail sentences.

As well as your own purchases, be very careful about bringing back any packages, envelopes, and parcels for other people from abroad. You never know what might be in them.
