Does CBSA/ASFC's restriction on importing mattresses apply to camping mattresses?

You can look at more official description of what is actually prohibited on a different page from Canadian Customs, so unless your camping pad can be used as a household item and fits into one of these categories:

  • 9806.00.00 – Bequests, meaning that the mattress was given to you after someone passed away.
  • 9807.00.00 – Settlers’ effects, so if you are immigrating to Canada you can bring your mattress without having it fumigated.
  • 9808.00.00 -Customs Privileges for Diplomatic Missions, Consular Posts, and International Organizations. So if you are working for another country as part of a diplomatic mission or an international organization, you might not have to get your mattress fumigated.
  • 9809.00.00 -Articles for the use of the Governor General.
  • 9810.00.00 -Goods imported by designated foreign countries, military service agencies and institutions.

you should not have to have it cleaned and fumigated. Though periodic cleaning might be a good a idea anyway.
