Importing from the USA

[Jay wald]

I was just wondering if you guys know any US company that will export reloading components to Canada. I know the ITAR regulation requires a permit but are there any us company’s with such permits. Just looking for regular reloading things and there much cheaper down there.
Thanks in advance

“I’m US Export Restrictions for Firearms Parts and Reloading Components
There is a lot of confusion amongst members on this forum and when it comes to US export restrictions. Most firearm parts and reloading components were governed under ITAR in the past and with severe penalties for export violations.

However, many members are not aware that everything changed in 2020, and when a new US law was passed and that moved the regulation of export of firearms parts from ITAR to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).

Today the export of firearms parts and reloading components is controlled by the Commerce Control List and which is administered by the US Bureau of Industry and Security.

With this change many firearms parts do not need an export license any more, and many other parts can be exported without an export permit/license if the total value is less than USD $500.- (the LVS exception) (LVS = Low Value Shipment).

In order to determine if one can export a certain firearm part one needs to consult the Commerce Control List. Firearms parts and reloading components are listed in Category 0.

Here the link:
https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/co...nload&gid=2331

And when in doubt, one can call the BIS hotline and to get clarification.

BIS - Bureau of Industry and Security
https://www.bis.doc.gov
(202) 482-4811

Now, the Commerce Control List is not the easiest document to read …

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a place and where firearms parts are listed and with their classification in plain English that everyone can understand?

So this is the purpose of this thread … and to post clarifications of the classification of firearm parts and reloading components and as they are classified under the Commerce Control List.

------------------

I will start the thread:

1.) Primers are classified as 0A505.x and are subject to a USD $500.- LVS exemption (LVS = Low Value Shipment). Meaning one can export up to USD $500.- in primers without an export permit/license or any paperwork if those primers are exported to Canada.

2.) Smokeless powder is classified as EAR99, meaning no export restrictions apply. One can export unlimited amounts of smokeless powder, without an export license/permit. And if the destination is Canada, then no paperwork is needed at all.

3.) Empty and unprimed shotgun shells (hulls) are classified as EAR99. So again, no export restrictions …. and no export license/permit needed.

4.) Shotgun wads are also classified EAR99. Same thing …

5.) Shotgun stocks are classified EAR99. Again no export permit/license needed.
(I recently drove down to the border and to pick up a shotgun stock, and I crossed the border with it ... and imported it into Canada.)



Voila, these are just a couple of examples from the Commerce Control List.”

Didn't it used to be that shotgun parts, loading components were controlled by the Treasury, and Single projectile components and parts were controlled by a different agency?
