importation of goods

[helixgrl]

We are arranging the shipping our household goods to Canada and I have read something on the customs website stating that the importation of mattresses is not allowed unless they have been fumigated and you have documentation to prove it.
Has anyone else had experience with shipping of beds/mattresses to Canada? Will this really be a problem for us?

Thanks Rob!
I figured there had to be an exemption in place for returning residents.
