Send a parcel to Vancouver from the UK

When posting parcels to Vancouver or further afield in Canada, there are some restrictions to be aware of.

You can find out which items are not permitted by taking a look at our prohibited items list as well as the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and the UK Civil Aviation Authority pages.

These provide the latest guidelines on items that can’t be sent via airlines.

While some carriers require you to print and attach a customs form, Evri makes it easier. We automatically collect all the necessary information when you buy your parcel online, so you don’t need to do anything extra.

For more details, see our simple guide on how to send an international parcel.

When shipping to Vancouver, you may need to pay customs fees and VAT. The amount can depend on the destination, purpose, and value of your parcel.

If your recipient needs to pay customs duty, remember to let them know. We may contact your recipient via email and share a secure payment link to clear customs before or after their parcel leaves the UK. If needed before, the parcel will be held in the UK until a payment is made or returned to the sender after 5 days if a payment has not been made.
