Laws Pertaining To Switchblade Knifes Or Automatic Knifes In Canada?
Are you allowed to import switchblade / automatic knifes for personal use as a collector of knifes? ....Are there regulations pertaining to blade length?....Do importing regulations differ from different countries?
Yes, some importing regulations differ, but blades are generally never excluded except on commercial air flights. there is no reason to restrict knives for residents, so they dont have one. However, here is the process which must be taken in order to send knives into canada:
To package sharp items, the following procedure is suggested:
Tightly roll newspaper around the blades and secure with reinforced tape. The newspaper should extend about 100 mm beyond the tip.
Put the address and return address on a slip of paper and tape it to the item.
Place the item in a corrugated cardboard outer container and surround the item with cushioning material to limit movement and protect the item.
Close the container with reinforced tape and wrap it in kraft paper.
Tape all seams and wrap the item tightly with reinforced tape.
Put the address, return address and the words “HANDLE WITH CARE” on the top and one side.
if you have further information, i have provided a link to the canada post, to whom the blade will be delivered. the link is already at the question of blades, so good luck and i hope this helps.
