Canada Customs Rules for Diwali Gifts

Before sending Diwali gifts from India to Canada, check which items are allowed. This helps avoid shipping delays and customs issues.

Food items: Some packaged sweets, biscuits, and dry snacks may be allowed. Rules vary by food type and origin. Meat products from India are generally not allowed under Canada's personal-use import rules. Check the Canadian food import guide before shipping.

Customs duties: Personal gifts worth CAD $60 or less may qualify for a duty and tax exemption when sent by friends or relatives. Gifts worth more than CAD $60 may attract duties and taxes on the excess value. Business gifts do not qualify for this exemption. Check the Canadian customs gift rules for details.

Restricted items: Declare all parcel contents and values correctly. Prohibited items may be held, refused entry, or seized, and penalties may apply.

Diwali 2026 deadline: Diwali falls on 8 November 2026. Aim to book 2 to 3 weeks before to allow time for shipping and possible customs checks. This is a recommended date, not a guaranteed delivery deadline.
