Quick question regarding buying from the USA

[RogyBear]

just a quick question, I know about the 100/500 exemption law but unsure about a certain area of it. I'm looking at buying a BCG from brownells but since the one part of that law states it's not for parts that operate the rifle, would the BCG as a whole be classified under that or just parts like the firing pin and such? Also is the 500$ limit excluding shipping costs or 500$ total after taxes?

Thanks for any and all insight

If you are ordering from Brownells, they will make sure to "tell you" what they can and cannot ship to you.

They shipped me 2 BX 25x2 mags,last year.
Got confiscated byCBSA.
Brownells told me it slipped by them...

There is a number or extension for international orders, they can tell you.
I was told that barrels, uppers, lowers, brass, projectiles required an export license.
They are pretty good at labeling items as "available outside the USA" or something to that effect.
There was maybe more to that list but my memory is terrible.

I think Brownells is more concerned about what they can legally export from the US. Not what you can legally import into Canada.

That is because of the RCMP....not Brownells and ITAR.
