I'm looking for some information on exporting meat and antlers from the USA to CANADA. I am going on a caribou hunt in Alaska in august and i want to bring my meat and antlers back home. Calling around for information is frustrating and time consuming. If anyone has any information on this it would be appreciated.. Cheers
Tags, and a CITES permit if it's a controlled species. US F&G is the best place to find info. They have a pretty good website and super helpful people on the phone.

In Alaska I believe you need a guide or outfitter no? They should be able to help you with that info.

I am going through a guiding service but they don't deal with the transporting of meat after the hunt just transport it to a butcher in anchorage or donate it.
Bringing the meat and antlers back with you is a lot easier. Usually just the tag you the hunted the animal with and away you go. Unless it is an animal listed under CITES.
If the meat does not accompany you make sure you do your research or you could lose it all.
I had a butcher in Texas take care of the meat for me and ship it to me. The Fed Ex boxes was limited to 44lbs each and each box had to be its own shipment.
Getting it out of the US is the easy part it is the CBSA and having it cleared by the food department here that you have to sure about.
I figured it all out by doing a Google search and making a few phone calls.
I wish I could post the links but it was about 4 years ago and the rules probably changed when I hung up the phone.
As was said above, you basically just need your license and tag and your good to go i believe s long as you accompany it. I drove across the border with an antelope cape/head and meat from wyoming, and canada customs didnt even check my tags/licenses or anything....he just looked in the box of the truck and said "nice goat, bow or rifle"? I answered him, he said congrats and i was on my way.
Importing and Exporting game meat??
