Joel Prunty, media manager - When you drive across the Canadian border this summer on your fishing adventure you will not see a dumpster full of potatoes. It was always unclear as to the risk potatoes posed, but we have been notified by NOTO (Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters’ Association) that this summer American guests will NOT have to leave their potatoes at the border, nor register them when they come to fish in Canada.
Here are the conditions by which potatoes may cross the Canadian border:
* Guests are limited to 10 lbs or less per person
* Potatoes must be commercially packaged (in the original package from the store) and the potatoes should be US grade No. 1.
We have confirmed this through discussions with the Fort Frances border crossing (Canadian Border Services Agency CBSA) as well as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
Enjoy that shorelunch with the potatoes of your choice!
