In another discussion the issue of whether meat can be imported was brought up. I found that the Canadian regulations seem to indicate certain meat inspection regulations do not apply to game meat up to 20kg. I quote the excerpt here and it seems to be in reference to any internationalimport not just from the USA. One problem will be hoping the particular officer at the border knows the right answer as I had mixed results when I called them on another occasion. But,has anyone ever brought the meat home from their safari? It would be cool to bring home a roast or something to enjoy in the week following one's return.
