    What can I bring into Canada in terms of parts?

    I am going out of the country for a couple of days for a vacation. I am planning on doing some shopping for my pistol. Im pretty sure I can bring in a holster and a belt and a nice gunbag. What else can I "Legally" bring in, in terms of gunparts?

    Im thinking of the following.

    1.) Trigger springs
    2.) Slide stop
    3.) Guide rod
    4.) mag base plate (????)

    This will be spare parts for a CZ shadow. Nope strictly no frames or slides.

    Should not be an issue as long as you are not exporting them out of the US.

    I don't think you can bring any gun parts without license.

    Bringing those parts into Canada would be no problem - just pay the taxes.
    If you are planning on bringing them out of the United States, that's a whole separate issue.
    You can't.

    Like it was said above, you can bring all these parts into Canada. You CANNOT bring any of them out if the US. If you are going to Europe, bring them all back as long as you do not land on US soil during the return trip.

    Not to be an idiot but isn't that the same thing? Bringing them to Canada is bringing them out of the US.

    Nope. US have very strict export laws for firearm parts.
    If you were to go and buy them in Europe (as long as you are not breaking any of the export laws of countries you travel to) and not landing in the US on the way back, you can bring them in and just pay the taxes.

    Nope. Exporting out of the US, and then importing into Canada are two completely separate legal processes. To export from the US you follow the US laws. Then to import into Canada you follow Canadian laws. Two halves of the process because you're dealing with two different countries.

    Not trying to start a debate, and, knowing that there are multiple active threads on this topic, and, yes, I'm (generally) law abiding... But, where does one get checked by the (I'm assuming ATF?), when leaving the U.S.? Travelling by land, from US to Canada, I've only ever dealt with Canadian customs agents. And, I must say, each and every encounter has been a positive one....
    It aint rocket science!!

    Thanks for the info. Im going to asia where I already know where the parts distributors are. I just talked to a friend and FEDEX actually turned out cheap so I might just visit the store and have it shipped. I would love to buy locally for convenience sake, but the last time I asked the stores don't even know when they will get their stocks here.
