Import Tips
• Whalebone from most whale species is subject to CITES restrictions; obtain the necessary permits from Environment and Climate Change Canada before shipping
• Declare the exact species and provide documentation, as CBSA may require proof of legal harvest
• Note that commercial imports of whale products may be prohibited under the Species at Risk Act; verify eligibility before importing
