Does US federal law require that importer stamp? If so, would the "bring-backs" without them be worth more, and how much?

I'm fairly sure up here north of the border, you don't find those stamps, and thank God for it, in my opinion they look terrible and draw a bit away from the collector's value of the gun (granted, we have pinned mags to do that to semi-autos up here).
