Transporting your ducks and geese to the US
We are obligated to adhere
to the following guidelines regarding bird game transport
as per the US Fish & Wildlife Service (as of September
19, 2000):
- All sport taken migratory
birds imported into the US via Canada must have 1
fully feathered wing attached to the carcass (Head
and Feet do not count)
- All imports into
the US of sport taken migratory birds may only be
imported by the person who hunted them. A hunter cannot
give the birds to another person to take into the
US on their behalf.
- Any mounted/taxidermized
birds, geese, or cranes can only be imported in the
US when accompanied by a US migratory bird import/export
permit. This may have to be applied for in advance.
- No other types or
forms of migratory birds will be allowed into the
US, no sausage or processed meat.
- All illegal birds
and/or meat will be seized and charges will be laid.
Transporting
your firearms into Canada:
As of January 1, 2001,
the procedures for bringing firearms into Canada, or
for borrowing firearms while in Canada, changed as a
result of mandatory license requirements of all firearms
owners and users in Canada.
For the purposes of Canadian law, the three classes
of firearms are:
- Non-restricted (most
ordinary rifles and shotguns)
- Restricted (mainly
handguns)
- Prohibited (full automatics,
converted automatics, handguns with a barrel length
of 105mm (approximately 4") or less, and .25
or .32 caliber handguns among others)
You may not bring
a prohibited firearm or replica firearm into Canada.
To bring a non-restricted firearm into Canada:
- You must be at least
18 years old (see number below to call for options
for minors who use firearms)
- You must declare your
firearms at your first point of entry
Declaring
your Firearms:
The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) is responsible
for all Customs procedures. Here are the basics if you
are bring firearms into Canada:
- In most cases, you
will have to declare your firearms in writing, using
a Non-Resident Firearm Deceleration (form JUS 909
EF).
- A Customs Officer
must confirm your declaration. The confirmed declaration
will serve as a temporary license and registration
certificate for up to 60 days.
- Please fill out the
declaration form before you arrive to save time at
the point of entry. However, note that the form MUST
be signed in front of the Customs Officer at the point
of entry.
- A Non-Resident Firearm
Declaration will cost $50.00 CDN. It can be renewed
any number of times within a 12 month period at no
extra cost.
You can obtain forms
and additional information on the legal requirements
under the Firearms act by calling 1-800-731-4000 (If
you live in the US) or
1-506-624-5380 (if you live in another country). If
you book with us, we will send you forms prior to your
