Leaving Canada with textiles (commercial)
Textiles in commercial quantities must be exported from Canada under a commercial export declaration with a commercial invoice and, where applicable, a packing list and certificate of origin for preferential tariff treatment at destination. Textile consignments face destination-side labelling and fibre-content rules, and preferential tariff claims require origin certification under the applicable trade agreement. Carrying commercial quantities as passenger baggage without export documentation risks seizure and misdeclaration penalties on the origin side and duty assessment at destination.
Personal-use Textiles (Commercial) may be brought into Canada freely under the personal-effects allowance. Commercial-quantity carriage requires the standard commercial-import declaration with HS classification (typically HS Chapters 50-63 for textiles) and any applicable safeguard duties. Verify the specific tariff line at Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) before commercial shipment.
