That is why I stated "I do not understand the above recommendation". Canadian import laws apply to Canada, not the United States.

American's, such as yourself, are under a silly assumption that exporting to Canada requires paperwork due to our import laws.

Currently, you do not need an import authorization under Canadian law for non-prohibited firearms or firearm parts. However, you may need one to comply with the laws of the other country.

So buying from Belgium who doesn't have export requirements for firearm accessories/parts, means that there no paperwork on either side required. Which is a very legal and perfectly acceptable transaction to do.

The State Department and ITAR do not regulate importation into Canada, so it has no bearing on what I mentioned, unless Canada became the 51st state and I don't know about it.

Paper requirement is not due to Canadian laws, it is due to US laws. Your are totally wrong with the assumption somebody in the US can import or export MILITARY items into Canada, or any other foreign country, without getting a license to do it. I know of guys who have been arrested and convicted for importing from other countries, without getting a license and clearance.

The laws I am referring to cover MILITARY items, not commercial items. Those laws are different. There are many counties one cannot export anything to under State Department laws due to US security.

I have been in the Goverment Surplus Business for 40 years and if it were legal to bring MILITARY stuff in from other countries without a license, I would be doing it.
