CBSA rules for personal-use food shipments

Canada Border Services Agency permits personal-use food gifts from India when commercially packaged and shipped by a licensed exporter with proper documentation. Vacuum-sealed, factory-packed sweets with FSSAI certification clear reliably.

Personal-use quantity is generally interpreted as one household's consumption over a reasonable period (typically 1-2 kg of sweets, well within Desify's bundle sizes).

Which Rakhi sweets clear CBSA cleanly

Vacuum-sealed mithai variants (Kaju Katli, Motichur, Badusha, Barfi)
Sealed dry-fruit-based sweets and hampers
Commercial namkeen and mixture
FSSAI-certified dry sweets and khoya-preserved items

What to avoid

Fresh unpasteurized dairy items
Homemade or loose sweets without commercial packaging
Fresh meat or poultry items
