U.S. fireworks
need permits

REVENUE Canada
wishes to remind
Canadians that fire-
works cannot be legally
imported from the
United States without a
permit.

Only fireworks that have
been tested and approved bv
Natural Resources Canada
(Explosives Branch) are lega!
in Canada.

Each year there are many
serious injuries associated with
the use of unlaw filly imported
fireworks. Revenue Canada,
Customs Border Services, is
committed ro protecting
Canadians by keeping illegal
and dangerous fireworks out
of the country.

“Some retailers in’ the
United States are advertising
fireworks in local Canadian
newspapers,” said — Gail!
Stewart, Director of the Pacific
Highway border crossing.

“This may lead Canadians
to believe that they can import
fireworks from the U.S, but
unless they have a permit,

‘oun | Pr:

that's not correct.”

Canada Customs takes: its
role of protecting Canadians
from dangerous fireworks very
seriously.

“We have already prevent-
ed seme travellers from bring:
ing back illegal tireworks and
we are concerned that they
aren't aware of the dangers
and risks they are taking,” said
Stewart.

“Ifa traveller declares fire-
works that have not been
approved for sale in Canada,
we will net alow them to be
imported into Canada,” advis-
es Stewart.

When undeclared fireworks
are discovered by customs
officers, the repercussions can
be even greater — fireworks
will be contiscated | and
importers may be prosecuted
and/or the vehicle could be
seized.
