Who has the best prices for Leupold Scopes?

I wasn't 100% clear on the laws. I have emailed people in the states and they said there was no laws according to this and doing what I said up there is legal so that is why I said it. I know it has been said many times here thats it's a big no-no but I assumed that since a US store who sells to Canada would know the laws and thats why I said what I said. Sowy

No sweat - it's an easy mistake to make, it took us some time to figure out the truth of it. However, we've got a difinitive answer from the agency responsible.

Many stores don't know, or don't care, or both. However, it is the law and so it falls under our rules of 'no discussion'.

So are you saying no export permit is needed? Any idea where where we can read the facts on this?

I said we mustn't imply that. Foxer was more than clear on this. There is no legal way to cross the border with a scope from US, without the paperwork. And if it was, I'm sure they'd ban it right away.
There was an old thing that said... no scopes with range estimating reticles or those designed to be used mainly by the military, etc.... were on the export ban.... then they included an end operator requirement, then they banned it for good. BUT :
If you order from a dealer in US a scope that was manufactured outside US... they can legally ship it to you. They were not manufactured for a specific end operator and they can / will be shipped from outside US.

Let's say a company ACME is registered in Japan, or Eastern Europe. Their dealer for North America is based in US (unfortunately obvious). You order a scope from them.... they will ship it to Canada as that particular item will be considered "in transit". You'll pay duty and all, but that's it. Not the same can be said if another dealer sells the ACME brand, but they have no ties to the mother company, overseas. They cannot legaly ship your scope. Most will outright say no! We don't deal with Canadians. Some might ship it to your friend in US... if you really thought of it as a gift. The onus is on you to not break the law.

One little thing to remember: Right after the toll booth, some ATF agents run random checks. One having paid the toll cannot reasonably argue that they were not about to export that item... BEWARE.

Nobody says one should break the law, but some of the idiotic laws include items manufactured in Canada, hard or impossible to find here -due to our market - and also impossible to import without papers.

It is not my intent to sugest that one should atempt to import a scope without proper documentation.

a breech in the law : scopes manufactures outside US are still legal shipped from the US distributor.

This is why I asked you for facts on what you posted. You said Legaly shipped, did you not?
