You’re past the time for using relocation exceptions so you’d have to pay full duty/tax. Suggest you research first before trying to ship. You may find with duty, tax and clearance charges you’re better off buying locally

I opened mine about 7 months ago at BBL and they told me I was lucky as the regulations were to tighten up next day. At the time I just needed my passport and an address. From all the conversations I’m seeing it appears they are starting to require a lot more. Likely related to tightening money laundering restrictions and the flood of dodgy Russian money coming into the country. Anything Russian is going to attract bank compliance departments

you can bring them but be prepared if you’re flagged to do explaining. It’s basically a crap shoot and up to the officer

I would not bring 35 tins. That’s beyond “gift”. A few gift cans should not be an issue
