In this article, we'll guide you on how to send food to Ukraine.
Can I Send Food to Ukraine with Meest Canada?
Wondering if you can send food to Ukraine from Canada? Absolutely! You're good to go with most factory-sealed food products, but keep in mind there are some DON’TS on the country's import blacklist. Customs tend to hold up packages that don't align with the allowed contents list.
Here are a few pointers on what not to ship:
- Don't send food-only packages over 10 kg.
- In mixed item parcels over 10 kg, declare all contents, not just food.
- Avoid perishables and items with short shelf lives.
- Only send food in sealed factory packaging.
- Exclude alcohol, tobacco, animal feed, seeds, and seedlings.
For the complete list of items permitted for Ukraine imports, visit the Meest Canada website. We offer guidance on these regulations online and at their locations in Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver, Montreal, and more.
