Understanding Canadian Customs and Import Regulations for Medications

Always obtain a prescription from a Canadian doctor before importing any medication, including Levitra. This prescription is your primary proof of legitimate need.

Import only the quantity needed for your personal use. Canadian Customs will scrutinize larger quantities, potentially leading to delays or seizure.

Declare all medications on your customs declaration form. Failure to declare can result in significant penalties.

Ensure your medication is in its original packaging, clearly labelled with the name and dosage. This helps customs officials quickly verify your declaration.

Be aware that some medications, even with a prescription, may require additional permits or approvals from Health Canada. Check Health Canada’s website for specific regulations before importing.

Importing medications from unregulated sources is illegal and carries considerable risk. You can’t guarantee purity or potency.

Customs officials have the authority to inspect your luggage and seize medications they deem illegal or improperly declared. Cooperate fully with any inspection.

For specific questions or concerns regarding medication importation, contact the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) directly.
