Okay, As op asked....Would it be okay if he or his friend exports/brings it in to Canada from a post box...You are talking about something totally different, you are referring to the ITAR $500USD exemption on some parts ( which some firing pins may fall under) which can only be used and claimed by a DDTC Registered Exporter (not just any business, nor a foreign individual traveling in the US).

yes, i should have said forget about getting your friend in philadelphia to ship a cheap part that you can order legally straight across the border and if it turns out the pros dont want to ship it you dont want to involve your friend in philadelphia

just curious, couldn't source one in Canada? bet western gunparts has them

It's my first time ordering anything like this and they came up first on Google ha. They were very helpful and had very knowledgeable staff. Jack First Inc.

A couple of months ago I was in need of a firing pin for my '92. Searched all over online Canada and US outlets. Brownell wouldn't ship to Canada (I know they do for some things but firing pins are not one of them). I went with Numrich. The total cost - including shipping, taxes, and whatever else they charge - came in less than I could get it anywhere in Canada and the estimated delivery time was a week quicker. It came in 12 days quicker than the estimate from an outlet in Edmonton and $43 cheaper.

Thanks! I will get onto them

Thanks all for the input. I have got my broker to 'return to sender' and I'll be getting a refund. Once done, I will get on to Numrich or similar.

Thanks again, interesting topic!

I had an issue with a warrenty center in the us that wouldnt export firing pins for a ou. After some #####ing to the turkey manufacture the usa dealer shipped them to me marked as hand tools. It was opened by customs and a note left in the bag stating "not hand tools" but i did get them. I think they xray packages at customs

On a different note ive mailed knives across as my buddy refused to have them in his truck crossing the border. Theyve always made it without a return address but that was before canadian customs started their own laws recently
