Canadians: need anything brought in from States????

I am flying to Victoria, BC on Xmas day, from Huntsville, AL. Happy to bring anyone anything that US seller will not export to you. I can post it from BC to you. Let me know

Please be mindful that they might not be legally able to export the item, and you might not be legally able to also.

I think your idea is noble, but like Gojoe said your putting yourself at quite a risk.

If they want it bad enough they can always cross the border and head to the local American gunshop.

I'l like one of those great big switch blades, and a case of grenades, a supressor for my 7mm might be nice too!

Nice gesture for sure but some of the stuff would get you in trouble on your side of the border and some on our side. Best to not endanger yourself for others.

Hmm...no takers eh? There's plenty of goods, that when bought in the US, are fully duty free when imported into Canada and cost a lot less than purchasing locally. Binoculars, hunting clothes, boots all come to mind of things that don't require an export permit.

I've had Alex ship me lots of stuff, as well as he has brought things when he used to visit Winnipeg and can vouch that he's a stand-up do anything for anyone kind of guy!

Yeah, that's a good point. It's only the firearm related stuff that needs an export permit (usually)

Any US made clothing, binoculars and anything else you can think of woudl be duty free. Very generous offer!
