Got it, I had it wrong, I didn't know about the recent changes with the fees and a few other rule changes, but you are right that it still has to be exported properly with paperwork from a USA exporter and cant just be sent from individual to individual as I thought. As for majority of articles I have read, they don't mention anything about the parts being properly imported into Canada from the states so I assume they were sent with false descriptions and hidden with other items etc. That's what must have caused the violations, investigations, and finally arrests I'm reading about every few months or so via rcmp, cbsa, and law enforcement channels.
