Can private purchase stocks be shipped to Canada?

The short answer is that you cannot do it legally. Importing the stock into Canada is no problem at all. Exporting it from the US (you need to export it from the US if you're going to import it into Canada) is the problem.
The long answer is that this is a firearm part and therefore it is controlled under the US ITAR regulations and the exporter needs a valid export permit issued by the US Dept of State.
The dollar amount doesn't matter. The fact it is a private sale doesn't matter. Only licensed exporters can legally export firearm parts (no matter how big or how small) from the US.
If you want confirmation, visit the US Dept of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls web site ( www.pmddtc.state.gov ). They have a contact e-mail address and they do respond pretty quickly.

Just going through the hoops myself it can be done legally by going though an US exporter - under $100. the permit cost me $39. The stock will be sent to exporter, the necessary paper work will be done and then forwarded to me.

Bob, if have have a PAL/POL you already are "on a list" IMHO, you would only be complying with US / Can. rules. My problem lies in the fact that something (though gun related is not a gun) given as a gift (that could have changed hands at the border) is going to cost me at least $40 and up to $80 with shipping give or take, One has to chuckle or a least try!!!!! --- John303.

Fixed it,thanks.
I just bought a Factory stock for a Sako 75. I bought it on ebay, guy shipped it here no problem. It was over $100.
The recommendation not to use UPS and to go with USPS, I assume is because UPS will rape you with brokerage fees.

Are we 100% sure stocks are on the list. or is rifle and shotgun stocks classed differently.I know they are handled by different groups but??
I have had no issue buying shot gun stocks in the US in the past few years and having them shipped to canada and not by fly by night companies.
My last one came direct from remington arms I just cannot see them shipping it to me if not legal.
Two from this company??
Richards Microfit Gunstocks, Inc
I have went over and over the list and no where do I see stocks banneD
Please enlighten me.
I'm going to email some stock manufacturers and see if they ship here.
Hi Rick,Stocky's website says no export unless you do the paperwork yourself.They have no export permit and are unwilling to pay the $2500US that it costs.Cheers,Mur
