Has anyone ordered parts from Numrich since bill C-21? If you have what was the process at the border and was there any long delays?
They have some parts I am interested in getting and I didn't want to order if there is any problems getting it.
 
They will also charge you ~$10 to open and inspect your package to asses its taxable value.
You will have to convert your purchase price into Canadian dollars and then pay Provincial tax on that value. In my case, Ontario, I am charged 13%
 
I placed 3 orders from the US in February. From the point of being shipped, here were the times until delivery

Numrich - 12 days
Henry - 14 days
Tandemkross - 10 days

None of them were opened, no extra taxes or duties.
 
I put in two orders with Numrich recently. Order one was shipped Feb 12, got stuck at customs for two weeks and received Mar 8. Order two was shipped on Feb 15, sat in customs for about 2 days was received Feb 26 (Ontario). I ended up paying about $50 in duties/taxes on each package. They were valued at $300 and $375 CDN respectively.

It’s Canada Post that charges the $10 and collects the taxes. CBSA opens the package because guns bad…..
 
CBSA delay's usually stem from Mississauga. They target Brownell's and Numrich. The CBSA decides whether duties, or any other charges apply, Canada Post then has to apply the charges before the recipient can receive your goods. The CBSA, not Canada Post are the culprits here, and believe me , I know.
 
Thanks everyone for the replies.
The way they have it on the Numrich website I wasn't sure if the package would be held at the border until they verified that you had a valid PAL.
I have ordered from the US in the past but not recently and just wanted to see if anything has changed but it sounds like it is the same as it has been for a while now order and wait.
 
I noticed on Brownells, they require an "Import Certificate". I don't remember this in the past, it just mentioned our $500 limit. I think that's new as a result of C-21??

"Canadian Customers:
Canadian customers can click here for information regarding firearms & firearm parts purchases.

Canadian customers are required to provide an import certificate which states that you can import firearm components. Department of State and Department of Commerce will only accept a certified English translation of any documents provided. DO NOT send your original copy of your permits because you will need it to receive the goods when they come to you."
 
I was charged 24 dollars by Canada post on my last order there was no hang up at the border and it arrived in a timely fashion,one thing the Canadian govt knows how to do is tax the max out of you.

It depends on what you ordered, and whether or not those parts are available through a dealer in Canada.

If those parts aren't available in Canada, usually there isn't any import duty, but applicable sales taxes will be added.

When did the local availability have anything to do with the import duty or not? NAFTA is about country of manufacture and nothing to do with what’s available here or not.

Got a link for this?

What he said.

I heard a rumor from a friend of mine that works at CBSA that they have been unofficially instructed to jack around and delay any parcels, etc that have gun parts or from gun companies as part of the LIEberals anti-gun stance.
 
Update to post #2

It seems the squeaky wheel does get the grease... (instead of the lube...)

On March 4, my package from Numich was surrendered to CBSA for review.
On March 15, around 11:00am, I phoned CBSA Mississauga to inquire about it's progress. The Officer I spoke with told me about backlog, March Break, bla bla bla.... and said it would still be at least another week, maybe two... He was very polite and I thanked him for the info and hung up.
At 10:00pm that same day, I received an email from Canada Post stating that my package was released to CP and I owe $25 in fees and taxes for a $84 (US $) part.
Package should arrive Mon-Tues. Whoo Hoo....

That is odd since the link they provide to the RCMP site (once there click the importing and exporting link)
says:

Parts and ammunition

Under Canadian law, you do not need a valid firearms licence to import non-prohibited firearm parts (except for a frame or receiver). However, you may need an export permit from the other country.

You cannot import into Canada

prohibited ammunition
firearm parts that are classified as prohibited devices
This includes handgun barrels that are 105 mm or less in length or parts made exclusively for a fully automatic firearm.

The Explosives Act limits on the amount of ammunition and ammunition components that you can import without an import permit. Generally, the Explosives Act allows you to import up to 5,000 cartridges of non-prohibited ammunition for personal use. However, you may need an import permit for smaller amounts to comply with the laws of the exporting country.

Yup, that's why I pointed it out. Doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense.
