Please Read Before Placing Orders To Canada
Bringing seeds, soil, and fertilizer into Canada is subject to rules, but small orders are usually fine. Larger shipments may need extra paperwork, so it's best to check Canadian Customs regulations before importing in bulk.
Prohibited Items
Soil is not permitted for shipment to Canada. We cannot ship loose soil or kits containing loose soil. However, hydroponic growing mediums such as jute mats, micro-mats, and biostrate mats are acceptable. Coco-coir products, including those like Minute Soil, are also allowed.
