Please may someone be able to help me with the rules of bringing products into Canada?

I am looking to bring in tea bags from a main supplier fully sealed, so my friend is able to try different types of British tea, is there any restrictions on bringing things like tea bags and also loose leaf tea?

and also food products such as chocolate and other sweet (candy) products being as looking to bring some stuff for my friends to try and don't want to be paying a fortune in shipping prices just so are able to try such products

According to Canadian Food Inspection Agency in the section Products allowed into Canada from countries other than the United States you are Ok bringing herbs, spices and tea, so your bags and leaves of tea should not be a problem. About candies it says you can bring up to 20Kg, which should also be enough, right?

Be advised that these requirements may be adjusted at any time because pest and disease situations are constantly changing. Even though some items are allowed into Canada, you still must declare them on your declaration form, and some provincies have their own regulations. I suggest you take a look at the link I provided and read all information.

I have personally brought tea and sweets (and other food products) into Canada more than once from Europe. You will have no problem at all bringing them in.
