I am looking to import some live edge oak and black Walnut from Missouri to Alberta, Canada.  Wondering if anyy members have any experience in doing this?  I have applied for an import peermitt form the Canadain Food Agency but have not heard anything back.  Thak you for any insight. CD

I have a customer that takes kd live edge slabs to Quebec twice a year. He has never mentioned any permit, but does need an invoice showing species of the slabs.

You probably need to show that you are CITES compliant when you cross the border. 
From the US a regular invoice showing the species is probably good enough, otherwise he could be held up while he got things verified?

Thank you guys for your help.  I will check out Percy H as I can come across at the border in Sask.

You could also just get it from southern Ontario. I can source lots of live edge oak and walnut. Although it is not cheap but it beautiful wood. I have a lot drying in the back. I traded logs for tree marking.
