Anything you don't want searched be sure to fill out a good description on the declaration. If you leave it vague they will search it and hold it up.

Live animals cannot be mailed unless the mailer has entered a related Agreement with Canada Post prior to mailing. Bees, day-old chicks, parasites, leeches and some other small cold blooded animals can be mailed under certain conditions (see Section 3.2.1 Suggestions for how to package and wrap items of ABCs of Mailing).

Dead animals or their parts, including, for example, the whole carcass of a beaver or a mallard duck, the antlers of a deer, hides, pelts, nests or eggs, may be acceptable for mailing, provided all applicable requirements are met. For information, please contact the:

CANADIAN WILDLIFE SERVICE
ENVIRONMENT CANADA
351 BOUL ST JOSEPH
GATINEAU QC  K1A 0H3

1-819-997-2800

Additional information may also be required from the relevant provincial government authority.

If permitted to be mailed, the package must meet the following requirements:

the contents must not leak or emit offensive odours
the cover of the package must bear a full, accurate description of the contents
the name and address of the shipper must be identified
the number of any permit under which the contents were taken must be specified.

Yup I've received many skins from the U.S.  And bamboo as well.  For anything wood related I always write "processed lumber for bow and arrow making"

I sent arrows of Tonkin last year. The only items I saw that they don't like is wood with bark, and wild bird feathers.

I usually label stuff as Arts and Crafts materials. For sure don't say feathers or leather.

 >:D "Native american inspired art" worked for me. It was a sinew backed osage bow and 6 arrows.
