the chinese 7.62x39 is cheaper than the russian. Shipping from Russia to Canada is very tough. We had one container stopped because we couldn't get a route and another is sitting waiting for a route with no ETAOriginally Posted by Ingots

not trying to sound like a dick here, but what makes it different from shipping to the US? Do we have stricter import rules or something? Or are the Russians being typical Russians and trying to extort you for more money?

Kerosene is fuel, Brian. Red Bull is fuel. Kerosene is Red Bull.
I have not had a good answer from the Russians on that. It is not just one supplier but several we deal with. Either way, Russia if off for now
Ah, so Russians being Russians. Thanks for trying, may I ask what type you guys ordered?

There was an article about this in Calibre Magazine a while back. Shipping ammo or any munitions from Russia or Eastern Europe generally is a process fraught with time-wasting bureaucratic and legal rules and obstacles and costs [possibly including bribes]. Any I'm not just talking paperwork...the rules are crazy. It's by no means as simple as 'pay your money, put it on a truck and go'. After reading it, I found myself wondering why the importers do it...it's amazing they can make a profit.

Add to that the embargoes since crimea/ukraine
Why no more cheap ammo from China?
All the cheap ammo was produced in 1994 for the US market and held in storage. It is gone now.
Wow, I have a lot of respect for the boys bringing this stuff into the country. I figured it was a pain in the @$$ just getting into Canada, had no idea it was that difficult just getting it out of the Ukraine, even before the Crimea incident...
Anything with tits, tires or tracks, its gonna cost ya.
maybe I won't shoot every box of my Ukrainian ammo, keep a box or two might be worth something some daymaybe not money wise but nostalgic purposes of the time of cheap ammo
