It sounds a bit fishey to me. I checked the internet to see what these were and the specs on them. The Standard 10b is a bit scary looking, but it is only a 4 shot semi auto shotgun, 20" barrel, which should fall into the limitation of a 5 shot limit for Canadaicon. The Norinco 97 is just a copy of the Winchester 97 pump that has been used for years. Funny thing, the site I checked was located in Canada called Marstar, they had a whole bunch of such type shotguns with no shipments to the USAicon, no mention of restriction on Canadian sales. Has anyone called the powers to be to verify this restriction??
