I have a military gunstock for sale and a Canadian would like to buy it. Can I ship the gunstock directly to the individual in Canada?

I've ordered Garand stocks and other parts from US dealers, without any problems, so I would think the same. Some specific parts need an export permit but I don't believe stocks are on the list. Canadian customs don't care, they'll just add GST. Always confusing to me why a lot of Americans don't want our business. "Seller does not ship to Canada"

Stocks are not ITAR controlled so not a problem

I think most American companies would love to have Canadian business. The problem is our goofy laws and regulations make it just about impossible to sell common sporting firearms, parts, accessories, and ammunition in that market.
As I recall, it wasn't always so. Up until about 1999 most of those items were exempt from export licensing requirements if shipped directly to Canada. Then, President Bill Clinton, out of the goodness of his crooked little heart, decided to "help " our friends to the north with their gun control and registration schemes by restrictions and licensing to help keep down the number of US origin stuff and things used in Canadian crime. Yeah, sure. But anyway he slapped on the export licensing requirement which meant that a Canadian shopper in Walmart couldn't even buy a box of .22's. And so it remains today.

My input is that I too, on eBay, won't ship to Canada. I've no issue with Canadians but I have had plenty of issues with Canada Customs!

Packages held up for three months plus...such that the buyer issues an "goods not received complaint".

Packages then sent back to UK because they haven't got the sender's address on the FRONT LEFT CORNER but maybe on the back, or on the side, or...

So yes I also have "won't ship to Canada" on my eBay sales. Sorry but until Canada Customs gets less anal and more customer friendly then I too "won't ship to Canada"...

Gun parts not specifically mentioned in ITAR will still need a US State Dept. export license if the value is over $100 wholesale.

Actually, I think that has been increased to 500.,"for Canada only."

I import far more than export so had to go look.
Good news & bad. Yes it has been increased but there is a reporting requirement that is impossible to comply with unless you are registered with the State Dept to use the automated system. The last time I was registered (10 years ago or so) it cost me over $2,000 a year. I use my customs broker for exports now & costs me just under $500 for every transaction. I will ask what he would charge for this type of entry.

The exporter makes a declaration
via the Automated Export System,
pursuant to § 123.22(a) of this
subchapter, and the exporter is eligible
to export under this exemption,
pursuant to § 120.1(c) of this
subchapter;
