Hey Guys,
Do you know of any exporters/importers that deal with inert ordnance? My usual contacts for parts and firearms don't. ie; inert grenades, etc.

All I can find from CBSA is this;

Inert/dummy articles and substances (empty of all explosives, such as brass, lead bullets, replicas of explosive articles, etc.) are not regulated under the Explosives Act and no permit from NRCan is required. However, any of the so-called "deactivated", "inert" or "dummy" grenades (or similar articles) made with parts or components of real grenades, will require an import or export permit from Global Affairs Canada (GAC). For an in transit movement by an individual, an import and export permit from GAC is required.

Thanks,
 
I haven't been able to find certain "collector" items. WWII dated 60mm mortar rounds are on my radar right now as well as a few mines.
 
From my experience if you bring it across the border yourself from the states and they view it and deem it inert they will most likely let you have it. If you ship it through the mail they seize it and keep it for themselves...so yeah, you're better to source within Canada if you can.

Not the original poster but I would love to find an 88mm anti-tank shell, is there somewhere one could find one? I tried to purchase one from Russia on eBay but the seller was unable to send it.

Very tough to find here. I put this one together. Found the case and she’ll together, both 44 dated. Added a 43 dated timed fuse but also have a impact fuse but it’s a 41. Also sourced an original primer.




Don, importing this stuff is very hard. Huge waste of time, and sometime individuals any get permits etc. Best to buy cheap overseas and hope for the best. Also if disassembled and not a complete unit in one box, easier for someone to see it’s just old metal.
 
Military goods leaving the UK are controlled. I have had to fill in documents for items, and have been turned down by dealers for artillery parts/accessories if they are to do with the actual firing of the gun, including some tools. These are items that would be ITAR exempt as well as DCG exempt due to their age and countries of origin.
Your mileage may vary.

To the original poster, collectors source is well versed in the international import/export of these types of goods. If you find items you want overseas, and are willing to pay the price, I would suggest talking to them to see if it's possible.
