Yes as long as it is declared on a goods to follow list or having some in your possession on arrival.
From a personal point of view bring stuff with long expiry dates.
Dont be surprised if container is examined if a BSO sees approx 25 lbs of herbs on your list

even medicinal ?

Thanks FL, my OH is bringing 2 sporting shotguns (non restricted )and a small amount of ammo in the container, he's filled in the 909 firearm declaration to show on arrival, is this all he needs or do you foresee problems?

We don't have Safeway here.

(Incidentally, I said it was the same costs - transportation etc here not the same cost. It's quite a bit cheaper here than the other poster listed )

You might also want to skim over this as procedures are changing with the recent announcement re gun registry law.
