Wolf is an American company. They have lots of business selling in the US market, If I was them I wouldn't even be tempted to try entering the Canadian market.
"...What defines not approved??..." Ammo has to be approved for importation by Natural Resources Canada(NRCan). I believe there's a huge fee to have ammo tested and nobody wants to pay for Wolf ammo to be tested. Including Wolf Ammo of Placentia, CA.
So what happens if one was 'caught' having it??
Maybe this stuff is different, as it says on the box 'made in Russia'
If memory serves me correctly, it's between $800-$1000 to have one specific combination of components approved. So, it can be rather expensive if a company wanted to take on multiple loadings of even just (1) cartridge. However, if someone were to take even (1) popular loading in .223 or 7.82x39mm, .308 Win., or 7.62x54R, and get it approved and secure the import rights to Wolf, then it could potentially be a very profitable endeavour.
from what I understood from my personal experience one could import (bring to Canada coming back from traveling abroad) up to 5000 rounds any non-prohibited (regardless of being or not on list of approved) ammo for personal use only (not for re-sale) without any Importation paperwork. However, according to US law one cannot export ammo from USA without export permit and US government will not issue the permit unless it's guaranteed that the destination country would allow the ammo in...in other words the import permit should be obtained from Canadian authorities and submitted to US department... in my case it took almost 3 month to get the ammo
Define "caught." Or more importantly "caught" where? On the US side, they'll do whatever, from just taking it away with a warning, all the way through 5-10y prison. At the Canadian Border, if they see that it's not on the approved ammo list, they'll most likely just confiscate it. Other than that, who cares? So long as he's not selling it.
