Numrich: International Shipping Resumed (Canada, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands)

[Brian Dick]

What new restrictions are you speaking of?

[BushyFromOz]

Yes a right Royal pain them cutting us off with the new restrictions, was a good source of parts although the postage was over the top.

Ive been waiting for them to open up intl shipping again so i can grab some parts (butts, handguards etc) and they do this. Springield wont ship here either.

Drives me frigging mad how hard it is to get parts here

[tr63]

Was there a U.S. state dept. ruling about not allowing sales of gun parts out of the U.S. ?

[mr.e moose]

Yup, It's called ITAR.

[BushyFromOz]

Yup, It's called ITAR.

Seems to be a large interpretation of whats classified as a gun part.. bits of shaped wood are out apparently

[Brian Dick]

All firearm component parts fall under ITAR. 121.1 Category 1(g). This includes, to put it simply: EVERYTHING. This means that posting any parts without lodging them first via the ACES system with Customs and Border Protection as a registered exporter is ILLEGAL in the USA. Shipments up to $100 worldwide and $500 to Canada do not require export licensing. Shipments of more value DO require export licensing.

I find it all very confusing! A couple of years ago Numrich was happy to sell me FN 49 parts directly but last year was told (by Numrich) that some minor parts for a Johnson model 1941 (springs, etc, <<$500) would have to go through an intermediary licensed importer. At the time Numrich wouldn't say much about why but had the impression it was the specific rifle. Got the parts but major drag.

It IS confusing Ridolpho and everyone just posts this stuff all over the world without any thought or care UNTIL they get caught. The big parts houses like Numrich and small potatoes registrants like myself have everything to lose and nothing to gain. The gov't makes all these regulations but individuals, postal clerks and even Customs Inspectors are not trained properly about them and it's a total cluster f--k, (military term).

[Omark]

I'm happy to do the lodging with CBP and postal shipments if you get the sellers to ship the packages here with a proper invoice. I DO charge for the service, (God forbid!). Anyone who needs help please email me direct at bdlltd@bellsouth.net and not via PM on the forum.

Very good of you Brian. I will be in touch
Cheers
