General Import Permit No. 6 — Roses for Personal Use has been repealed

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

This general import permit, which allowed Canadian residents to import up to two dozen cut roses or rose buds per importation from Israel or other CIFTA beneficiary countries for personal use, has been fully repealed. The entire operative text of the permit — including definitions, the personal-use allowance, and customs declaration requirements — has been removed. Anyone who previously relied on this permit to bring roses into Canada under its authority can no longer do so. Importers should check whether another permit or import pathway applies to their situation.
