Can I Bring Cartridges on a Plane to Canada?
Cartridges
Not Allowed
According to CATSA guidelines, firearms, firearm parts, real ammunition and cartridges are not permitted in carry-on baggage under any circumstances. Certain items may be transported in checked baggage if properly packaged and approved by the air carrier. All firearms, firearm parts, ammunition and cartridges must be declared to the air carrier during the check-in process. For more details on how to transport these items in your checked baggage, please contact your air carrier. Passengers may also contact the Canada Firearms Program website.
The final decision rests with the CATSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. Official CATSA Rules →
