I bought my scope in Michigan. On our way back to Canada, customs asked who spent the most so I raised my hand. He asked what my most expensive purchase was and I told him I bought a scope for my hunting rifle and he was fine with it

not a problem bringing it in here but if you were caught by the boyzzz from the US of A then it'll be a different story, bet you wouldn't be visiting them for quite a while..Originally Posted by Adzyhany
CBSA doesn't care for the most part as long as you pay whatever taxes and duties are owed. Homeland security might have something else to say about it...
Also, just because you didn't get caught, doesn't mean it was legal!
"If everybody you meet is an a$shole, then you're probably the problem, not them."
Here is a good CBSA starting point reference:

Let's take this a step further... Are there any American companies that sell guns/ammo cheap, and are licensed to export to Canada, to private buyers???
I would respectfully disagree. In order to bring something into Canada (import) you must first take it out of the US (export). Don't confuse the two. For example, Canada will say you can bring in 5000 rounds of ammunition. This is true. If you are caught bringing it out of the United States, you will most likely have it seized, be arrested, and not allowed back into the US.

In regards to ammunition (loaded cartridge) seems we can import up to a certain amount for personal use without an import permit. We still need an export permit from the US side.
http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/explosives/importation/9909A person is permitted to import up to 5000 rounds of small arms cartridges for personal use and not for resale into Canada without an import permit. An Import Permit is required to import larger quantities or if the ammunition is for resale in Canada. A person is permitted to export and transport in transit up to 5000 rounds of small arms cartridges without an Export or In Transit permit. An Export or In Transit permit is required to export and transport in transit larger quantities.

In the GTA.
Looking for a 86 Toyota MR2. Or 89 Supercharged.
You cannot get a US export permit. A licenced US business can get one.
