Up to 5000 cartridges may be imported without an import permit. Within that limit, you may be required to pay duty if you bring more than 200 cartridges for purposes such as hunting, or more than 1500 cartridges for target shooting."

ALSO: Before you go ballistic, so to speak--little joke there--, do remember that it is now illegal for US companies to export reloading components like bullets even though Canada allows the import freely! For example, I can't legally buy an Accubond from Midway, for example, due to US export laws. (I can buy one from a Canadian company which goes through all the hoops to get some and then resells them here legally just fine. Also, I find that no one seems to check private mail and I can buy off e-bay pretty well just fine.)



Good luck on your hunt--I didn't get my caribou draw this year so I'm a little down .

I've never heard of a problem of this kind coming into Canada. - Dan

I just returned from a Canadian hunting trip. I took 2 rifles with 50 rounds of reloads each. They were in plastic boxes that I had marked and sealed. I had no problem on the Canadian side. The problem was with the TSA screen before departing. One inspector said everything was just fine. Another didn't like the plastic see through boxes. In the end, they let me go through. They didn't not hand inspect my guns or the anything that was in that case. They took everything out of my other checked case. Didn't like the M70 bolt on the xray, also the ammunition confused the person the xray machine.

In the end, check with your airlines, as the rules do vary a bit.

I've never had a problem going into Canada with my reloads, which are all I ever hunt with. As long as the ammunition is in a box with the rounds separated (not clinking against each other), most clerks just pass on them.

I now (this year) put them in plastic boxes and have labels I've made up for them. Use a plastic sealing machine too. This looks "factory" so it eases their minds. Will be leaving Sunday for caribou in Quebec so will see if there are any new "interpretations" of rules.

My short answer is, I don't think it will matter. In Toronto they didn't ask to see my ammunition.

Thanks for the information.....
