I was checking on the Canadian controlled goods website, and it would appear there have been some changes to what is considered a controlled good. The amendments to the guide are listed here: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/a...3.html#docCont
The main guide can be found here and our stuff is in section 2: http://www.international.gc.ca/contr...ang=eng#group2
Especially interesting are the changes to 2-2 and 2-6.
Note that for vehicles (including armoured) and for howitzers, mortars, launchers etc, they are now only controlling items that were first produced after 1945.
By my read, this means that the import of things like a 25 pdr, a 60mm M19 Mortar, a 105 howitzer, or armoured military equipment like a Sherman, as long as the equipment type was in production before 1945, are not controlled on the Canadian end. Perhaps this was a change so that they did not have to register every collector in Canada who had an old WW2 rifle.
I think I read somewhere that the US had made some of these changes previously, but the whole system of controls is pretty confusing to a simple mechanic like me.
This sounds good to me, especially since this followed me home this weekend.
