Hi,

Alchohol is pretty simple. Anything else, the border crossing requirements seem very strange. For example, at the border crossings south of the Okanagon (Washington->BC), you can't bring apples across the border. But if you come across the border from Montana to Alberta, it's fine. You can bring Anjou Pears into BC, but not some other types of pears.

Here is the website that may help you figure things out.

It has a very good drill down capability which simplifies the process, but it's a bit complicated because of the number of questions. For example, fresh washington apples less than 200 kg imported into British Columbia requires answering questions: Import Details for Requirement : 65202 Version : 1

HS Description : 080810 08 Edible fruits and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons 08 Apples (fresh)

OGD Extension : 400100 4001 Apples (fresh)

Origin : UWA US United States UWA Washington

Destination : BC BC British Columbia

End Use : 08 08 Human consumption

Miscellaneous : 86 86 Container weighing less than 200 kg

Which results in (NO, YOU CAN'T realistically): Refer to CFIA-NISC(must be accompanied by the following documents\registrations): Phytosanitary Certificate USDA Inspection Certificate (FV-205) CFIA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Licence Number or DRC Membership Number

--OR--
