No you can't import anything gun without Homeland approval. Not even a screw to hold a scope mount on or a custom open sight for a pistol!! I have never read where certain amounts are exempt such as the $500 if you fill in a form.

I asked for clarification in the above statement but haven't received any answers.
So after researching on fb I found these statements by CTCSupplies on a reddit QnA.
https://redd.it/2hg2bd
TL/DR It seems the form filling procedure is in use by Brownell's. It's just a lengthy process and there are only certain items that you can buy.
I just recently used az techarmory to get me a couple things including an SJC Titan Compensator and Raptor-SD charging handle.
Some quick reading below.

If you order less than $100 of regulated for export stuff (e.g. gun parts) from Brownells, there is no additional paperwork. If you order more than $100 but less than &500 they will email you a form that you have to fill out, sign and return to them before they complete the order. The form is an end use statement that you are buying the items for yourself and will not further export them to another country.

Well, After being out of shooting for a few years, I thought I would spiff up my 'ol 10/22. I emailed Brownells and asked about the "under 500$" limit. They sad that I would have to sign a form (that they would email me) and return it to them. No prob, I thought. I got the form, and ordered a few things off their website - Target barrel, custom stock, etc.
I sent the form back (you have to fill in the specific items you are buying on it). They received it and then told me it could take up to 45 Days for them to get exemption to export

CTCSupplies QNA here.

Non-Operable components such as iron sights, grips, various mounts, slings, flashlights, optics, and many other accessories are NOT governed under ITAR/USML BUT are control and governed by the Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
Non-combat shotguns > 18" are also governed by EAR.

What about the $500 ITAR Exemption?
As of July 2013 - the United States allows for the export without an export license of certain firearm-related parts and components (22 CFR 123.17(A))
Does not apply to any parts/components related to Shotguns (these are regulated by the U.S. Department of Commerce rather than the U.S. Department of State, and there is not equivalent exemption for shotgun parts in the Export Administration Regulations).
Does not apply to ammunition-related parts and components. These are classified as “Category 3 on the U.S. Munitions List, while the exemption only refers to “Category I(a) firearms.”
Does not apply to “Significant Military Equipment,” which includes any firearm itself.
Does not apply to any parts at all related to fully automatic firearms, even if you're planning to use the part on a semi-auto variant.
Also does not apply to barrels, cylinders, frames (receivers), or complete breach mechanisms.
Exemption can only be used and claimed by a DDTC Registered Exporter (not just any business, nor a foreign individual traveling in the US).
The Registered Exporter, still must file documentation online (using the Automated Export System, or AES) to notify the government that the exemption is being used, including the item description, tariff code, value, weight, date of export and Port of Exit.
By law, orders cannot be broken up into smaller shipments to meet the $500 threshold
This is why Brownells can export small parts to Canada without an export permit, but YOU CANNOT GO TO CABELAS AND BUY $500 OF GUN STUFF AND BRING IT HOME WITH YOU.

How do I LEGALLY import firearms parts into Canada using a DDTC registered exporter?
If it falls under the $500 ITAR exemption, you should use it. A number of US companies export small parts to Canada using the exemption.
If it falls outside the exemption, the DDTC requires a Nontransfer and Use Certificate (DSP-83) which defines the end-use of the part and that you will not export outside the end-use country (Canada).
A DSP-83 cannot be issued until an IMPORT authorization is given by the receiving country. In Canada this is called an International Import Certificate (IIC). Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada issues IICs for free.
Once a DSP-83 is signed off by the end-user, the registered exporter will submit the purchase order, DSP-83, IIC to DDTC. It takes anywhere from several weeks to several months to receive the authorization to export.
Once authorization is given, the exporter must file the information with the Automated Export System and method of leaving the US - typically USPS, UPS, FedEx, or freight.
Once AES is filed the parts can be shipped to Canada. Often the broker will require the IIC to release the shipment. If its a low value shipment via USPS to Canada Post, Canada Post does not ask you for the IIC.

Just go brownells before youe tampon falls out. I have been buying from them since 2009 and have pretty much gotten a complete ar build from them. Especially back when permit was $10 each.....

Just last week i have gotten 2 ar bolt carrier and a few dpms miculek comp from them. You just need to know where and who is a register exporter.

No kidding. lol
As someone who is new to AR's and firearmss themselves, this being a forum I posted in frustration.
As for finding out myself I did just that. RIF if you look at my last post.
Knowledge that you and others possess due to how long you've been involved with firearms is helpful to others.
Up until your first post in this thread I had no idea that what you posted was available to us.

...everything I want is out of stock in Canada and I can't just order it from the US as I have to wait for a shop to carry it cause of ITAR!!!
Seriously a F&^%ING ejection port dust cover is illegal to import!!!
For a person used to getting what he wants and lacks patience this is extremely frustrating.

I don't know how you guys do it.
