is it illegal in US laws to ship riflescopes to Canada, whether commercially or privately?

I know some companies will not ship them, what about if I buy it from an individual or have a friend send it to me?

Would appreciate any advice.

It is illegal on the US side of things. Unless the person has an export license for the scope, it is illegal. This has been hashed out many times on CGN.

If the sender were to decide to risk it and get caught, I believe it is a very hefty fine with the possibility of jail time.

It's not illegal to ship scopes, they just have to do the paperwork. If they are doing it without the permits, they will get burned some day, and the fines will likely put them out of business.

I had a scope imported from Texas. The company even helped me with the paperwork. I even paid duty, so our side of the border and thiers were both aware.
