We're driving out of Alaska this December and will be taking the ferry from Valdez to Bellingham. From what I gather, we will be stopping on Vancouver Island. I know that we will have to be in Canada at some point, I'm not 100% on what part (the site was not very clear).

I know to cross the border we have to have photo IDs for the adults and birth certificates for all of us (2 adults 2 children). I also know that we can't take a gun (don't have one anyway lol) and we can't take Canadian citrus into America.

Is there anything else we can't take with us? I can't seem to find a definitive list of "don'ts". We're moving, so we'd like to take as much with us in the car as we can as when we moved up here, the movers broke a lot of stuff. But I don't want to lose anything at the border. And are any other kinds of foods prohibited? We're traveling with two small children who like to eat--a lot. lol

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Take a look at this site. It seems that Canada Customs now is called something else, but it should be able to let you know what you can bring in the country.
