It is important for FIFA World Cup 2026™ fans to know what items they can bring when travelling to North America for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ games.
Some items are not allowed in our countries because they can pose a risk to our environment, people, animals, and plants. Food, animals and plant products can be contaminated or carry pests and diseases that negatively impact human health, agriculture, forestry, and the environment.
Did you know there are also rules for travelling with your pet? These rules are in place to prevent the spread of pests and diseases. You should be aware of the requirements and follow these important steps for the host country you will be visiting to avoid delays and disappointment at the border.
Plan ahead, check each country’s import requirements before you arrive, follow the instructions, and have the appropriate documentation for your items and pets.
To ensure a smooth arrival and avoid delays, fines, or confiscation of goods, take a few minutes beforeyour trip to:
Review import requirements for each host country you will visit
Confirm which items are permitted for personal use
Prepare the proper documentation as required
Pack carefully and declare all relevant items upon arrival
Being informed and packing responsibly helps you move through border inspections smoothly —so you can focus on what really matters: the GAMES!
Before you travel: plan before you pack - Check CFIA’s traveller page for what you can and can’t bring into Canada—and remember: don’t pack pork
