Situated in North America, Canada is the world's second-largest country by area, spanning over 9.98 million square kilometres (Roughly 40 times bigger than the UK). Canada is also a popular tourist destination, resulting in high shipping volumes and overseas trading.

Why send a parcel to Canada?
Canada operates as one of the top ten economies in the world, negotiating key trade deals with the USA, the EU, and the UK. Therefore, there are massive increases in shipping demands to Canada throughout the year.

What to know when sending to Canada
Prohibited and Restricted Items
There are rules about what couriers will carry and each country and courier services have their own restrictions. For instance, you cannot send perishable goods, bee-keeping apparatus and prison-made goods to Canada. You must check postal prohibitions and regulations before you book a parcel delivery with us.
You can check our Prohibited and Restricted list on the website or speak to a member of our parcel experts.
Complete a customs invoice
All international deliveries from the UK require a customs invoice, so sending a parcel to Canada is no exception. The customs form is used by Customs to calculate any local tax/duties due.
During the booking process, we will guide you through the customs declaration to help minimise the risk of delays or charges. You can print off the paperwork at home and attach it to your parcel, ready for sending. Learn how to print your 6x4 shipping labels and A4 documents directly to your printer using The Interparcel Print Manager™
Packaging
When packaging items to send abroad to Canada, you must understand that the parcel will be handled multiple times across different vehicles and aircraft, stacked on top of other boxes, and exposed to various weather conditions. Therefore, you must spend some time packaging your item sufficiently for transit. We advise you:
- Select a strong cardboard box big enough to attach relevant shipping labels and documentation
- Individually wrap each item in protective material to minimise movement
- Pad the inside of the box with cushioning materials
- Secure the parcel with strong packing tape
If you have a niche item to send, such as a fishing rod or guitar, check if your item is prohibited from shipping to Canada. Adding extra protection to your parcel is also vital to minimise movement in transit.
