You can bring in pinned mags up to Canada. $100 retail maximum exemption applies. Luckily (I guess 
) us Canucks can get ban-era mags for nothing, what american wants ten-rounders when they can have full capacity?

actually it does not........
MANY models of guns need an export permit for even a 1 CENT part
m1 carbine for instance you cannot export ANY parts. I tried to get some spring kits(legally) and 3 different US licensed exporters said state deprt says NO
that 100$ limit only applies to a few items its NOT a blanket limit...that would be too easy.....
you want the REAL answer CALL the state deprt yourself NOT customs they dont know neither does ATF

Linky?
It was posted right on the US customs link a while back, provided they aren't controlled items (receivers/barrels/stocks), they were generally GTG with it, again, as long as it was under a hundred dollars.

Thanks for telling everyone you committed an offense in the US. Nice. What are you not getting about this....it is not the importation into Canada that is the issue here....it is the exportation from the US. Although Canada says you can import the ammo....currently you are not allowed to export ammo from the states without the proper paperwork. Same goes for the mags. So if you had been stopped at the border by the US Customs, you would have be arrested and if they really felt like ruining your day, taken your car, throwing you in jail and banning you from the US.
It is illegal to export AR 30 round mags from the US....period.....without DoS approval. You guys are killing me...

Yes, but also the caveat being will the DoS authorize the export licence. Try getting an export licence for collapsible AR stocks and barrels under 16 inches....the US gov is not approving them. So as Tiriaq said, not only do you have to have the export licence from DoS...the exporter has to be approved by the DoS to export....
Those are Canadian Laws...
You broke US law and your ####ing lucky you didn't get caught by US authorities....

You don't have to pin them magazines purchased from Bass-pro. You don't have to pay duty. You don't even have to stop at the border. Just get into the Nexus lane and step on the gas. WEEEEEEEEE!!!!
When you come back from your next trip, stop by US customs. I hear the guys on the US side will fill your hi caps with ammo if you ask nicely. Common calibers only (no 40 watt plasma ammo). Woohoo! Free ammo.
