Import restrictions

Greenland is regarded as being overseas for Danish customs purposes. Information about what can be brought into Greenland tax-free is available at airports. Various articles for personal use can be imported, but there is a ban on the import of guns, pistols, fully and semi-automatic weapons, narcotics and live animals, including domestic pets and birds of any kind. Guide dogs for the blind are an exception. Travel from Greenland to Denmark is subject to the general rules governing imports from a non-EC country.

If you are going to visit Greenland to experience one of the world's greatest travel adventures, you've got to be a little tough.
