Kava powder through customs to Canada

[Peter1050]

So I ordered kalm with Kava micro for the first time and was so excited to get it but now it’s stuck at customs and I just got a refund from eBay saying I won’t get.

We are writing to inform you that your recent purchase through the Global Shipping Program from nationalbooksellercannot be completed.

The item in question has been deemed restricted. This could be due to import/shipping restrictions or eligibility requirements within the Global Shipping Program. The item will not be shipped to you nor returned to your seller.




Any other ways to get this product in Canada then?

 

[Peter1050]

I can buy it on amazon.ca but not sure if it has to go through customs then

 

[Krunkie McKrunkface]

Maybe get it from KWK and not a reseller on eBay?

My son lives in Montreal and he buys kava online and also I ship some to him sometimes. The delays or losses are usually due to the Post Office, and this can happen just as often buying from a Canadian source as well as a US source.

 

[Peter1050]

Do you know where he buys it online?

A bunch of places. GHK is the usual as he has best success getting the packages in.

Ghk stands for what? Why would it get restricted? Didn’t think it banned

GHK is a vendor: Gourmet Hawaiian Kava. Even if it isn't banned, could still get held up b/c of food standards or plant material standards or "we don't understand what this is" etc., I would suppose. Though, I really know nothing about customs. But in any case, GHK = Gourmet Hawaiian Kava.

I have a Canadian friend that wants to try it, what online source does your son get his from ?

The Kava Roots out in BC sells absurdly excellent kava. Also, Canadian customers do very well ordering from GHK in Hawaii, usually. I think KWK and BKH come through pretty well, as well. Not sure about cactus or KT or RealKava (Kava Kauaii), but I would definitely investigate those. Oh, and Squanch.

Thanks I passed on the information

I have never lost an order to customs. I have had it held up in customs for upwards of 8 weeks, but it always makes it to Newfoundland. www.getkavafied.com, gourmethawaiiankava.com, and www.bulakavahouse.com are my go to vendors. These vendors are also very quick to ship out.

Maybe you could have the vendor mark it "Cannabis powder"? (totally joking)

But seriously, the suggestions above are good and they will likely get your kava to you.

it is funny. I live in MI where it is legal for me to possess, grow and consume and transport cannabis and travel to Canada, a country of which I am a citizen, where I am allowed to possess, grow and consume and transport cannabis, but guess what I cannot take across the border? Screw it, I'm bringing kava. In fact, I am making a huge kava delivery to Montreal later this month.

Kava on the rock! Yay! My wife, who drinks as much kava as I do, is from NFLD. I'd love to do a TV show where a beautiful Newfoundland woman travels to strange exotic often very cold places and persuades nice new people she meets to go hiking out to nowhere where there's a nice swimming hole but instead of taking their clothes off, jumping in and freezing their nads off they set up a comfortable warm camp and just shell out for a few days, maybe listen to some tunes, play some Nintendo....

I would happily offer shells to Mounties. I've known a lot of really cool Mounties in my day, living in various places.

How often are Mounties actually riding mounts these days?

if you've never seen them ride you are in for a treat. The Musical Ride is something else.
