Reloading equipment from the USA

[rommelrommel]

Just as a heads up, I was talking to a US export team today and their current understanding is that reloading equipment, ie: presses, dies, etc, now also requires an export permit.

Never heard of such a thing...it's a real stretch to say that machinery for the home production of ammunition comprises part of a firearm or ammunition per se. I hope you're wrong - anyone with the skinny?

I received a press from the states May 21st without issue. This something new, new?

 

[rommelrommel]

Could just be local misinterpretation, thought I would put it up and get some input.

Got a Loadmaster from Lee about 6 weeks ago, no proble, and no export permit either.

You can get brass out of U.S without export permit as long as your...under $100.

Same for most gun parts. As long as your....under $100

I have gotten Wolf Springs, Starline Brass, Sprinco Recoil Reducer, and countless reloading equipment items all with out Export Permit.

Bullets for some reason are a sticky issue?

If only Midway would ship to Canada...

Reloading presses, dies, etc...are tools and there is ZERO restrictions on them. Whoever told you different was misinformed.

There are now restrictions on the export of reloading components i.e., powder, bullets & brass and they now require an export permit, even if the value is under $100.00. However, US Customs doesn't seem to be that interested in enforcing the latter requirement.

"...now also..." Nothing new about it. It's got nothing to do with machinery or parts of a firearm. I've seen that the export permit is required, some place. On the other hand, I just sent an e-mail to RCBS' Canadian rep to find out one way or the other.
Gunparts is saying the limit for Canada is now $500 for parts.

Just ordered some dies and bullets from Midsouth. No go on the bullets, fine wiht the dies...

AFAIK, the only reloading tools the State Department have issue with are for the .50 BMG.

True, they may be misinformed, but this was a US officer that was conducting export checks at the time. I personally would rather err on the side of caution unitl I know for sure.

I have a dillon 650 on order direct from dillon and they said it would be here in about a week. No mention of an export permit though.

I bought a Hornady Lock-N-Load AP from cabelas last week and it arrived here the other day without any issues.

Just got a reply from Dillon. No components(brass, bullets, primers, or powder), revolver speedloaders, high capacity mags(we knew that) or major firearm parts(barrels, bolts, etc) can be shipped from the U.S. without the export permit.
Presses and accessories are ok.

I in the last 5 minutes rec'd an Email from Midsouth advising my order for rings/bases---$32.75 U.S.--cannot be shipped to Canada---order cancelled.

 

[acrashb]

Right - rings are part of the gun. Reloading equipment is fine.

Just got an order from Dillon $947.72 USD was here three days after it was order. It came by Fedex which I wasn't crazy about but damn are they fast.
