Can shotgun barrels be shipped from US without going through a broker?

As far asI know the answer is no.


Shipping Gun Parts to Canada

Question: I want to buy parts in the US for my firearm and import them into Canada.

Under USA regulations, suppliers in the United States need an export permit to permanently export firearms and firearm parts to Canada. To get an export permit, they need to include a Canadian import document with their application. It is up to you or your import agent to obtain such a document from the Government of Canada and give it to your supplier.

Your supplier does not require a Canadian import document for muzzle-loading firearms, antique firearms, pellet guns or BB guns. Neither do they require one for shipments of firearm parts (other than frames, barrels, cylinders, ) with a total wholesale value of less than $100 US. Update: $500 value, see below.
receivers, and complete breech mechanisms
 
I am pretty sure shotguns are not covered under ITAR so yes I think you can... call a store in the US and ask if they can ship you one to Canada
 
Gunsaholic, that is just for the exemption to the import papework. You can still get such items if you do the import paperwork. NZA has a tutorial on it posted in the legal subforum I think.
 
Yes. some say if you fill out all necessary paper work the US will send you an import licence and then it can be sent by a licenced exporter. Pretty much in all cases the individual said it wasn't worth it. Guess it depends on how bad you want the barrel and if it's worth it to the individual.
I think though when you look at a lot of these online stores, they state right in their policy that they will not ship barrels etc. to Canada. Whether or not they would do it if you had the paper work is another thing or if they just don't want to bother. Some might not have the permits to export so you would have to find a store selling the Mossberg barrel that will be willing to export it.

I have been searching high and low for a Canadian source for a mossy 500 20 g rifled cantilever barrel and they seem to be non existent up here but plentiful in the States.

Ed I bought quite a few state side over the past three years and yes and all were imported by Clay at Prophet river with zero issues and for what he charges not worth the worry.
I give Clay the heads up buy it and ship it to his US location/ dealer.
I did have one shotgun barrel seized along with a rifle stock a few years back doing it myself and lost both plus the cash so now need it or not it is full paper work for me and Clay's services
I still think the paperwork is required any way for shotgun barrels
Cheers

Shotguns are covered by a different federal act in the US than rifles are. Can't quote the act but I do know they have to be brokered and imported with permits. I have heard nothing but good stuff with Clay doing the broker work.

Don't want one that bad lol. As a matter of fact, i'm not really sure why i want one at all given the cost of sabots.Not going to actively search for one going forward. If one happens along , i'll buy it.

When you see a big buck out at 125 yards then you will be happy you have one. Had a pump mossy 535 rifled barrel slug barrel and they slug hunter will shoot circles around it. Great 20 ga for the money and worth every penny and a lot more accurate than a pump.

I don't doubt that. I just bought an inline muzzle loader to use when i feel like something other than a center fire. Pretty much negates the need for a slug barrel.

Now that I can not disagree. Have one too but in ontario we can use either or. Just not crazy about the one shot thing but a ml is very accurate for sure. Just prefer a shotgun but a muzzy will work even better. Just a pita to clean.
 
Shotguns and shotgun parts (barrels, components, etc - not furniture) are not controlled by the US Department of State, and are thus not subject to any of their export restrictions. They are, however, subject to the legislation set by the US Department of Commerce, who are responsible for shotguns and shotgun parts. You can get an export licence/end use statement for shotgun parts pretty easily, but it does take 3-4 weeks (according to Brownells. Actual times may be shorter or longer).
