The only way to get ACCURATE and RELIABLE information on this is to;_
1) Contact Canadian Customs to find out what they require for import paperwork
2) contact EFD to see what they might need to get permission to export
Importing from the UK can be done.
I have sold (and shipped) a rifle to Canada.
You need to find an Importer with the necessary paperwork / licence, and the seller needs to find a carrier with an export licence.
I think I have cleared out my email with the various names and addresses used but I will have a look and see if I have any info still
This was the UK shipper I used (tho no doubt EFD will have their own preffered shipper)
Shipping Explosives and Transporting Firearms
For some reason I do not have an 'edit' option - I was going to add the following :
About - Collector's Source, Military Collectibles Online
This was the Canadian importer who did an excellent, smooth, job (from my side)
Try Harry Gordon, I use him for exporting Firearms for my customers who are outside of the UK, it save me doing all the paperwork, he is exporting weekly including Section 5 items:
Collectible Arms - Harry K. Gordon & Dr. Richard Preuss | Imprint
You have to make the deal with EFD, then obtain an IIC, (International Import Certificate), from External Affairs Canada and supply an approved copy to EFD. Once they have it in hand, they can do the export license and (EUU), End User Undertaking, with you and then ship the rifle via air freight. You don't need an importer if you're a PAL holder but it might be easier to hire one if you're not familiar with clearing firearms with Canada Customs at the airport to which you have it shipped.
