Fresh milk from the USA OK from the UK not OK
Are the goods being imported by a traveller or importer for commercial purposes.
Are import permits required?

Re: The cheese and wine whine!
Who makes it and where is it made? Is it made in Canada or the UK? Is it made under licence but produced in Canada? sort of like Cadburys chocolate bars.

One must read the CFIA regulations closely and then determine where the product is from

That's why I made the point that Clotted cream could be produced here. Import restrictions then become irrelevant.

I came home with package of Halali German Limberger, marked down by half, probably have to get a few drinks in me before before getting into that.

Re: The cheese and wine whine!
I can get the double around here but I haven't looked for the clotted cream of late.Thanks anyway! If you come across fresh please please let me know! I managed to find it in Fortino's about 8 years ago (just like the double extra thick one in the UK, in a plastic pot thingy, it was so good) but they've stopped selling it..
