Paperwork. Lots of paperwork. And then trucks. And then boats and planes. Then more paperwork.
First you have to export it out, then you gotta import it in. Do those guys paper, then our guys paper.
Well for all that effort and paper work, i think a 200$ sks is a damn good deal!
When you're importing tens of thousands in a single seacan and only pay $50/piece or less, it works out.
Yes they're a good deal at $200, and a great deal at any less, but don't for one second believe they're being imported as a "favor to the community". Businesses exist to make money and someone is always making money on these. Not that they shouldn't, but I don't believe thanking anyone is in order either. That's the business they chose to be in.

Import/Export
For an idea of just how inexpensive foreign made products are check out alibaba.com . No guns but you could get there once you have a contact. Shipping can be shared with other importers. Brokers can handle customs,duties etc. Once you understand the production concepts you see how this stuff is so damn cheap.( this is how major Canadian retailers can sell you a '$499' set of handtools for $139. And a lifetime warranty !) STUFF IS CHEAP. the advertising to get you to buy what you do not need is expensive. Todays exercise ; find the cost of gun trigger locks or cable locks. Have fun.

word on the street is steven segal brings them across the arctic by skidoo.
All depends on how rifles are packaged. If in cardboard boxes stacked to the rafters an average shipping can(20') will hold about 1900 .If it is a tall one a couple of hundred more. If in wooden crates the numbers drop. 40 and 53 foot cans of course will contain more. The real coin is in all those little TT-33's. Now you are talking 5 figures. Mix and match some SVT's and Ka-ching$.
