trijicon reap ir thermal

Check the legality of hunting with it in your area if that is your intended use. Otherwise I'd call IRunGuns or Prophet River and ask them if they can bring it across for you. Probably going to be stupid expensive.
 
Unfortunately (for us) it has a 12 micron sensor, and a 60 hz frame rate, which in short terms means no bueno for export. You can try calling Irunguns, but I'm fairly confident if you aren't an agency, the answer will be no. No harm in asking, though.

Thermals unlike regular NV can be used 24 hours a day. It's perfectly legal to hunt with either but only during 1/2 hour before sunrise and 1/2 hour after sunset. But we know the thermal is actually useful in daylight and won't be damaged and you can see critters through the brush. I have a NV monocular. It's basically a fun party toy my friends get a kick out of looking at stars. But if I decide to walk into a field at night, unarmed, and observe wildlife without harassing them, I'm within the law. Rules for thermal optics are the same.

Export of Thermal Imaging Equipment or related accessories (such as manuals) is strictly regulated by the US Department of State in accordance with the guidelines of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Agency/government item only & heavily controlled export adherence / plus $8000 US = sadly no go

Thermal during the day isn't that great since the temperature difference between animals/targets and the background is not as big as at night. The sun heating up the ground and trees unevenly also contributes to hotspots that you sort of have to mentally process to identify. It is still useful, but it is not as much of a game changer as it is at night. I owned an AN/PAS-23.
