Travelling with Ginseng

According to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES):
If you are transporting less than 4.5 kilograms of cultivated North American ginseng root out of Canada, a CITES export permit administered by the Canadian Wildlife Service must be attached to each package.

  2. North American ginseng products such as powder, pills, extracts, tonics, tea and confectionery are exempt and do not require any CITES export permits.
  3. Authorized Canadian retailers provide necessary documents at purchase for customers, including CITES export permits and commercial CITES export permits.
