US/Canada Border Question - 10/22 Magazines

NOThey are a prohibited item. If you declared them the worst that would happen is that you would lose them though technically as soon as you cross the border with a prohibited item you have commited an offence. If not declared they would be seized along with your vehicle and you would have to pay for the release of your vehicle but you would never get the mag's back. You would also have a "record" with Customs If you had a significant number you would probably be arrested. You could then have a Customs and Criminal record.
They are most certainly not prohibited.
Don't laugh...it seems many idiot-vendors in the U.S. thought just that (i.e. "rimfire hi-caps are prohibited in Canada"), b/c of the Internet.

.22 rimfire rifle mags of any capacity are not prohibited in Canada. |(.22RF pistol mags are limited to 10 rounds though). The export of any mag from the US by anybody but a licensed US exporter with the right permits is prohibited under US - not Canadian- law. lately the US has also prohibited the export of any magazine over 10 rounds to anyone except military or law enforcement.
Just so you avoid getting into trouble with the mods, be aware of the CGN rules...:
The following topics will not be tolerated. Violation will result in immediate and permanent suspension. Some quasi legal/ grey/downright illegal examples that are specifically not tolerated are:
1. Shipping and driving items to Canada from the US that require US export permit.

OOOPs... Sorry I didn't see any mention of "rimfire" in the question of course they are not prohibited but they still, like any goods being imported must be declared. And of course if you do not have an export permit from the U.S. and the were discovered on a U.S. export check you may find yourself in hot water over there.
The same applies to buying ammo in the U.S. If you are discovered with your ammo purchase from say Gander Mtn. in your trunk on export you better have the paperwork to show the U.S. Customs why you as a non-resident Alien are in possesion of ammo.

I was at the local gun shop last week and the dealer said he got a letter from the CFC saying no more would be allowed to be imported... what is on the shelves is all there would be. He has a reputation as a huge BS er but I got a couple steel lips because I was meaning to anyway. Anyone else heard of this?
i heard today in my gun store they were unable to get any of the hi cap mags right now..

Some places around here are saying the same thing, trying to scare people into buying more at higher prices. Maybe they are right though. You never know.
