No and no. I ordered, it came in, I paid, they shipped, I had the optic next day.

The proper export paper work would be permits from the U.S. authorities for the person sending it or taking the item out of the U.S. to take it or send it out of the U.S. So if a U.S. seller is shipping it out, the permit wouldn't be presented to the Canadian buyer in Canada.
I've never exported a scope or any other controlled item from the U.S. but if I ever do, I'll take the precaution of getting the proper permits.
You rebel!! Buying a scope with out papers.....next thing you're gonna go out and buy a Harley.
The papers he kept in his wallet...........

Their web site states that they have their export paper work in order for certain countries, Canada being one of them.
It also states that they would act as the central point for all warranty work in the US. Ship to them they ship to the manufacturer. That is their guarantee.
Their prices look good.

I've brought 3 scopes up from south of the border. All 3 I was nailed a customs fee. Was still cheaper though than up here. All that being said, the last 2 times I've purchased from a Canadian supplier. Once because it was a great deal (WSO blowing out old stock), and the other because I just felt like it - even though it cost $100 more.
