rhineholt Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Soo this winter, I'm going to Canada for a month or so. I will be driving, and I was wondering if I'd run into any problems with customs about my hookah.I really want to bring it because I think it could make the trip so much better. Do you guys know if anything will happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon` Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm not sure about that I usually bring it and they search and don't really have a problem. You'll be passing through Michigan right? Take a stop to Dearborn before you go into Canada and stock up on your Hookah Needs. Dearborn is the hookah palace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm not sure what customs is like nowadays driving into Canada, but you may have to declare any tobacco that you're bringing into the country if it's above a certain amount. I don't believe that you have to pay anything for it, you just have to let them know that it's there. Hopefully someone with more experience traveling into Canada will chime in here, all I can really say for certain is that it's a lot simpler to get into Canada than coming back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a 30 minute add on to your trip. Instead of going around Michigan you can go through Michigan stop at Dearborn and continue on up through the UP (Upper Penisula) And that leads right to Sault Ste. Marie.

thatonethere Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) I've always wanted to check out Canada. I'm jealous.... One of these days I'll go in the summer. It's too cold for me right now.I hope you have a lot of fun up there, and I hope customs doesn't give you a hard time.

Universal Magnetic Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 it says you can bring 200grams of manufactured tobacco with you. i would bring your hookah, bring your shisha in tubs (not too much) so they dont know the exact amount you are bringing if they check. maybe order from a vendor (such as hookah john) who can ship discreetly into canada and have it shipped to where you will be. i would recommend ordering from a vendor over purchasing shisha here because the prices are outrageous esp. if you dont have hookups. good luck.

Hookah S Moka Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ive had multiple experiences with shisha and the border, and i have been searched with it sitting in my back seat, plain view, they asked what it was and i told em it was my hookah and i have gotten pulled off to the side twice over like 20 times over the border. Its been no prob but i never mentioned anything about declaring it being tobacco even though it was all sitting in plain view when they searched.
