That will be a yes likely if it is marked "made in the USA". It is set at 25%
Cost Breakdown: USA vs. Israel - without consider shipping ( air freight from Israel or by truck from the US) -
| Cost Component | Sourcing from the USA  | Sourcing from Israel  |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Customs Duty | 0% (Under standard USMCA/CUSMA) | 0% (Under CIFTA) |
| Retaliatory Surtax | +25% Penalty Tariff (Effective Sept 8, 2026) | 0% (Exempt from US-targeted measures) |
| Import/Brokerage Fees | Standard high-volume brokerage fees | Standard high-volume brokerage fees |
| Sales Tax (GST/HST) | Applicable based on province of entry | Applicable based on province of entry |
| Estimated Financial Impact | You pay 25% extra on the total value of the shipment. | You pay base cost + standard import fees only. |
tariff could easily pump the price up by 500 to 600 bucks.

Good point, looks like HS 9303.30.90 covers semi-auto center fired rifles. HS Heading 93.06 covers ammo……#### this nonsense, but hey our elbows are way up right?
Can NS beat the clock and import them all by Sep 8th is the million dollar question….

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but that 25% tariffs on US made firearms has been in effect since April of 2025, no? I could find nothing about new tariffs on firearms in the list of new ones.That will be a yes likely if it is marked "made in the USA". It is set at 25%

Edit: I believe those were in effect April-August 2025, and not coming back (9303 category tariffs)

I agree
The 25% is already in place and old news
A fellow who I know works at a retail shop has not seen or heard anything either for Sept 8th
If there are new tarrifs coming into effect sept 8th you can bet your bottom dollar every retailer would already be advertising "beat the tariff" pricing and buy now

Rifles still being manufactured

Delay with the barrels as usual I suspect. To save on shipping costs and customs processing time, they ship in batches.
Could also be a delay at CBSA.
That’s what I thought. Regardless the new announced counter Tarriffs would be in addition to anything that’s in place now.
I can’t speak to if they would apply to rifles as that’s very niche market and would have zero affect on USA as domestic demand is orders of magnitude larger then what Canada would buy.

- Just north of Toronto, thankfully.
Given the number of times I've burned myself with sticky glue, I support this public safety initiative.
it could turn into a hot mess
Carmel all day long. The reputation of an established military weapons manufacturer as well as someone who can spend millions on product testing. For all the anti-semite schills, do you own SKS's or other communist block weapons? Douchebags.
