I have a US mail box in a nearby border town......I use it for most of my US internet shopping.
Not the best idea to advertise that you are breaking the law. Sometimes silence is golden.

Breaking what law? Having a mailbox and shopping online in the U.S are Both Completely LEGAL activities.

Not breaking any laws...what goes to that address are things like tires, tools, stuff from Amazon and all the stuff my wife buys from places like Saks, Lands End, Neiman Marcus etc etc
.......but, speaking of US export laws for firearms and firearm parts, i thought I read somewhere that parts under $100 that were not considered "major components" were exempt from needing an export permit. I believe they defined "major components" as things like barrels,frames, receivers, slides, trigger groups etc etc. Anybody know if this is true?
Here it is....

........and this from the Foreign Affairs Canada website
Q4. I want to buy parts in the US for my firearm and import them into Canada.
A4. The US controls on the export of firearms extends to parts also. For small orders worth less than US$100.00 the US Department of State allows an exemption from the export licence. This exemption, however, does not cover ‘significant’ parts which includes; barrels, slides, cylinders, bolts, frames and receivers. It should be noted that there is no equivalent exemption offered by the Department of Commerce for shotgun parts. Further, there is no exemption for ammunition or ammunition components. Canadian importers should follow the procedure outlined in Q1 (above) to import parts not exempted
Exemption can only be used and claimed by a DDTC Registered Exporter (not just any business, nor a foreign individual traveling in the US).
As the Registered Exporter, we must still file documentation online (using the Automated Export System, or AES) to notify the government that we’re using this exemption, including the item description, tariff code, value, weight, date of export and Port of Exit.

I'm not here to argue with any of you. By all means, play dumb if you get caught and you may just lose your goods and get a warning.
Just understand what you're doing and understand the consequences. You're breaking no laws shipping to your US mailbox, you're breaking laws when you attempt to cross back to Canada.
Nope. Tried to order mags from them. They won't do it.
Did you ever got your order? lol
Cheers.
I'm.guessing he did not. FYI the new ITAR exemption for non regulated parts shipped to Canada is 500 now with and end user document. But still remains 100 to pick up stateside
From previous posts I thought the ITAR regs state that the $100 exemption does NOT apply to foreigners taking controlled items out of the U.S.

Also that 100 exemption is for a licensed exporter to export. Not for an unlicensed exporter to export. It is american law you need to worry about not only canadian.
