I thought you couldn't bring Fruits and meats over boarder crossings? I am with chickie just alcohol always Wray and Nephew ;)
what I have heard from friends on the work program that if aslong as its cooked and prepared its alright..but they are a little more brave than myself...and make sure you declare it so they can inspect it..I was just wondering if anyone in the forum who has tried...just curious..I might have to go for a trip and find out...lol I wish

I didn't have a problem bringing back stuff just put it in my checked luggage had fried fish wrapped in newspaper and fruits you will be fine. They look out more for booze but as long as you declare it your fine.

I tried bringing back wray & nephew from the states one time, for a $12 bottle I would have had to pay $40 in duty on it so the bottle would have been $52......it is better to just to be under the 1.5L......(PS....for some reason, beer is not the same duty as liquor? not sure why)

Hi folks, does anyone know if we can take canned tuna overseas? For some reason in Trinidad they do not have any of the "white" tuna anymore and that is my mother-in law's fave. If anyone knows, please let me know. Blessings.

after you went into process did they ask you for any other documents or the like? I went into process in March but right after that I got my RPRF request and had to redo a Schedule A.
