Bringing taxidermy glass spider
So I have an American Tarantula in a glass taxidermy thing. It's dead (obviously) and has been set inside with some kind of glue I imagine. Its an ornamental piece I guess. Sort of like this, but in a dome shape seal instead. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/14...g?v=1558475762
I quite like it. I cannot see anything on here regarding arachnids or insects in general: Importation of Integumentary Tissue - Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Anyone able to confirm I can just plop this in my checked luggage (or carry on?) and not have to declare anything?
Cheers

I would declare it somewhere, it's going to raise eyebrows and alarm bells when they see it on the X-Ray!

Re: Bringing Sealed glass spider
It needs to be declared as a personal effect as that spider could be on the CITES endangered list.
Might be better putting it into checked baggage as opposed to carry on just in case security (not Customs/CBSA) or the airline have a problem with it. Pay close attention to the declaration question regarding food plants and animals even if its dead.
Subject to sections 16 and 18, an individual is exempt from holding an import or export permit issued under subsection 10(1) of the Act for any animal or plant, or any part or derivative of one, that is listed in Schedule I but not in Schedule II or Schedule III and that is a personal effect or a household effect, except

- (a) in the case of a tourist souvenir, where it was acquired in a country where removal from the wild occurred and where that country requires the prior grant of an export permit before any export of it;
- (b) in the case of the export of a dead plant or dead animal, or a part or derivative of one, other than feathers, that is raw, unprocessed, semi-processed or simply dried; and
- (c) in the case of a hunting trophy other than one referred to in subsection (2).
