Anything I need to know about shipping cookies to Montreal?

I need to cheer up a sad friend, and wanted to mail her a box of cookies. I’m in Oregon. Anything I should know about international cookie delivery to Quebec?

Yeah you have to use equal amounts of French and English chocolate chips.

If you’re sending sealed bags, you need to ground-ship as opposed to airmail. I mean sealed in the sense of potato-chip bags. They will burst in depressurized cargo. If they’re homemade cookies and you’re wrapping without a special vacuum packer, just cushion them well.

The cargo area of every airplane built in the last 40 years is pressurized. Few if any cargo airplanes over 40 years old are still in use. The OP can ship her cookies by air freight without fear of the bag bursting in flight.

Legally, any cookies being sent to Montreal need to pass an inspection before they can be sent to the intended recipient (assuming there are some left). Let me send you the address…
well, it’s worth a shot…! :slight_smile:

I’ll probably just put them in Ziploc-type bags with some paper stuffing around them.
I’ve baked chocolate chip cookies, molasses cookies, almond cookies, and these little cinnamon-sugar pie crust pastries. Would that cheer you up, or what? :slight_smile:

I was thinking there was something important to know about customs labels, will she get taxed or something stupid like that?
