Re: Putting food items In container with furniture, is this allowed?
Some of us came because of work, and don’t think we should have to compromise and lower our standard of living (maybe we lowered our cost of living but that’s not the same) and who said it’s a better way of life .....slower.... behind the times...... ???
You should also look up your crime stats too………..

Two things come to mind, 1)what happens if you do not find food that the children like? Go back to UK? Starve?
2)I have not been to New Brunswick but I am fairly confident, in fact will probably bet a lot of money on the fact that there are shops that will be open during the day to 'tide us over'.
Why take the risk of all the problems listed above?

I think it was his finest hour.

I wasn't allowed to put any foods in the containers and I also wasn't allowed to take my perfumes. A vast collection which then had to go in our suitcases (along with teabags, branston, cadburys, salad cream and packet rice!) on the trip over. Go figure!

We are going to be filling our container soon to send all our worldly goods over the pond to Canada. What will immigration say is we put some things like chocolate, cereal, baby food etc in there to tide us over till we find food the kids will like, and my wife (she is the fussy one ) will this be allowed?
will this be allowed?i wont advice you to put any food in your cargo. Just been to customs last month and my partner put tea bags in her cargo, the custom officer was not pleased at all...she asked us if there is any food n of course we said no. She said how about the tea bags...and dont we have tea here in Canada was her reply. She gave us a hard time going through our list one item at a time. It was more like an interrogation. I think its more for health reasons that you are not allowed to bring food.

We had the packers out yesterday and they said all food items, spices, tea bags etc are a definite no no.
Is it really worth the risk?
