I wanted a Huber trigger for my 1600 Husqvarna. I called in and he told me that they cannot ship triggers into Canada for a year now. I really want this trigger and there are no dealers here. Any idea how I can get this trigger?

I bought one for mine in '13 and they just mailed it to me.
Love the trigger BTW.
Did they say why?
Would they ship to a dealer or gunsmith?

I bought a rifle basix trigger for $125ish two years ago and they had no trouble shipping it. It may be they are concerned about the "$100 or less" law on firearms parts. I don't really understand it because it seems to be inconsistently applied, but I'd see if they are willing to mark it "machined parts".

Good luck.

They said they cant ship to Canada for a year now.

Triggers over $100 are controlled, some triggers fall under ITAR depending on application even if under $100. Subject to $250 export permit from US State department, end user agreements and Canadian International Import Certificate. Many companies will not do anything that requires a permit.

Having done these types of imports for a company I can tell you it takes from 2 - 6 months for this process to play through when placing a business sized order.

Some US companies will ship what others won't, but most find it is just simpler not to ship outside the US at all than chance running afoul of the ITAR regulations. (Huge fines and possible jail time if they get one small part wrong)

Certain items are restricted regardless of the price.I have used the services of companies like Prophet River or Irunguns to have products legally exported out of the USA. If a company was to get caught sending restricted parts out of the USA by using creative labelling, they could face huge fines. Most companies are not foolish enough to take that risk.

There are ways to buy items like triggers without using a third party service. For instance, I have bought Jewell triggers from Brownells in the past year. They will supply you with the proper forms to import the trigger yourself at no additional cost. Call them and ask how when you order

It would appear, that it is possible, that Huber does not have, and is not interested in acquiring an export licence. He can't ship his product out of the US without one. Neither can anyone who handles his product, legally.
You will see those types of items on Brownell/Sinclair also, generally as anything under that particular brand name. Their export licence does not cover mfgrs who don't have one, so they can't get a permit for that product.
Could well be his sales are not large enough to cover the hassle and expense of the acquisition of a licence. Have to make a lot of export sales to make up the 2750.00 fee for that licence, plus the permit fees for each shipment.
How many triggers do you have to sell, to break even on that fee, at even a 50% net profit on them?
