❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How is the duty-free allowance for IQOS and HEETS calculated?
The allowance is typically calculated by count (e.g., 200 cigarettes) or weight (e.g., 250g of loose tobacco). If you carry multiple types of IQOS and HEETS, customs will calculate the total based on proportional conversion. Any excess must be declared at the red channel.
What should I consider when bringing IQOS and HEETS?
The most important thing when bringing IQOS and HEETS is to confirm if it exceeds the duty-free allowance or declaration threshold of your destination. It's recommended to keep purchase receipts and ensure IQOS and HEETS is in its original packaging for easier customs inspection. If the IQOS and HEETS is of high value, always use the red declaration channel.
❓ More Questions
Do HEETS count toward Canada's cigarette exemption?
Yes — heated tobacco sticks are treated like cigarettes for the personal exemption: up to 200 sticks if you meet the absence requirement (48+ hours abroad). Foreign sticks lack the Canadian duty-paid stamp, so a special duty may still apply to part of them. Always declare.
Can I buy IQOS sticks in Canada?
HEETS have been sold in Canada, but availability varies by province and is thinner than in Asia or Europe. If you rely on TEREA (ILUMA), check availability before travelling — bringing your exemption quantity is safer.
