I live in the UK - can I post potatoes to Canada?

Question

I want to post some potatoes to Canada (lol) but I have the feeling it might not be allowed. Can anyone confirm this?

Answer 1

go ahead and try it (potential success 29%)

Answer 2

No.

Answer 3

There are very strict import regulations on fresh fruits and vegetables. Check with the Canadian consulate in the UK for exact details -sometimes it's as simple as ensuring that there is no dirt clinging to the roots of a plant, other times it's absolutely forbidden. It really depends on precisely what you are planning to send.

Answer 4

Why on earth ....

Answer 5

ask the post office. canada has food restrictions like the UK and US, but UK and Canada are more lenient than US. maybe food could go there, but a permit maybe? why do you need potatoes to canada?

Answer 6

Answer 7

If you really wanted to you could probably do it.  But you would need to do lots of paperwork and pay someone to inspect them and stuff.

Answer 8

No.... it a bomb wanna be

Answer 9

I suspect you may not be able to do so.  Some parts of Canada depend very heavily on the potato industry, and potato blight is very feared, so the importation of potatoes is strictly controlled.  Here are a couple of links that may help  you figure it out.  If you want to be sure contact the Canadian Border Services Agency and they will be able to tell you.

Answer 10

No. Living plant material is controlled as it can bring disease into the country.

Answer 11

If you are storing them potato's on the floor of your house.

Make sure you keep them in their "brown bag."

Because, when you bend-over.

Them potato's do have "eyes." <}:-})
