First, you have to identify a U.S. DOS-registered exporter (such as Brownells) with a conversion kit which you want to import and which was manufactured by a U.S. DOS-registered manufacturer (such as Kimber).

Once you have done that, you must obtain an International Import Certificate (IIC) from DFAIT. Forward the IIC along with a completed U.S. DOS Form DSP-83, a written purchase order, and a cover letter that both clearly identifies the end-user (such as yourself) and specifically explains the purpose of the exportation (such as for target shooting).

The exporter will submit this documentation to the U.S. DOS. If it is approved, DOS will advise the exporter, who can then mark the goods with the export approval numbers and then legally export the goods to you.

You must complete the process by advising DFAIT - in writing, and within the specified time frames - of the delivery (or non-delivery) of the item(s) in the IIC.

this is worth the 200$ savings.. unless of course the certificates cost a lot

 

[Wendell]

The IIC is free.

As mentionned, the IIC is free.
The US exporter may or may not charge for their services.

Wendell - It would be really nice if your post could be stickied.

It can be done very cheaply if you have a friend in the US that will get a dsp-5 exemption from the DDTC (free) to export it to you.. (IIC required also free)
