SIG P226 Hammer Reset Spring

I have gotten such small bits direct from SIGARMS by mail in the past, but when I called a few days ago I was told that due to recent changes in the customs export rules, they can no longer ship to Canada.
 
In case anyone is interested, I ordered the spring and several other spare parts from Brownells on July 12th and received them today (the 21st). I would have had them two days ago other than for a small Canada Post foul-up. Brownells apprears to have no problem shipping small parts with a total value of less than US$100.

Gun Parts: Fees and Licenses
Many of our items are classified as Gun Parts. There are many strictly enforced rules that go along with these parts.

A Gun Part is “any item necessary to the operation of a weapon”. Many parts fall within this category, such as triggers, magazines, grips, actions, pistol frames, and barrels.

Shippers Export Declaration Fees (SED)
An SED is required for all gun part orders and export license orders.
Export License Fees
An Export License is required for all Gun Part orders exceeding $100 (U.S.). Export licenses are issued by the U.S. State Department and may take between 30 and 40 days to receive. An Export License is will be required for each order.
Orders requiring an Export License will be shipped BAX Global or Parcel Post. Neither UPS nor FedEx will deliver these orders. If you wish to use a different freight forwarder, please list them when you place your order. Freight forwarders, besides BAX Global and Parcel Post, require an initial set-up fee of $50 (U.S.).

All actions, barreled actions, pistol frames, barrels, barrel liners, and cylinders (even if their price is less than $100, will require a United States Export License.)
