Exporting Bullpup stock to Canada---Legal?

[Guns4all]

Ill take one as soon as you can get it cleared, even with the $225. Thanks for the good work

But it sounds like Kermit has to pay about $2300 just to register himself with our Dept. of State.
At least that is what I gathered so far from this topic. I think!

Update:

The bullpup stock itself, so long as there are no receiver parts included, has, under the newest laws been ruled legal, assuming that the overall length is still within Canadian law limits.

The rub now is that an importer has been located which possesses the necessary import/export license, but wants to charge $200 to import the stock, plus $25 shipping, plus whatever import tax there will be on the Canadian side.  That is more than I charge for the stock itself............:>(

Thanks to all for your input up to this point.

From this post I understand that only I would pay $225 since an importer will be used with the required license.  Please confirm

You are correct except for one point:  There will be a tariff and shipping charge once the goods get into Canada.  I have no clue how much that might cost.

Could you post Alina to your web site of the picture of the stock. Would love to see it.

I think you meant to type "link", so here ya go:

To all interested parties:

On the advice of my favorite U.S. postal worker, I chanced sending a stock to Canada, and nine days later, it arrived without incident.

Insured shipping was about $47, with a tracking number.  I was careful not to mention anything in the declaration about "gunstock" or "bullpup".

This may open up a whole new venue for Frog Wood products!

I ordered a MN bolt for my M44, description was steel bolt on the declaration.
A bayonet for my M44 from ebay, steel cutting tool.
As it is not really a evil device so describe it in it's basic form.  A nice wood carving.

Good for you and hopefully those up here that are looking can order a stock without incident.

Hey Kermit. Exporting to Canada worked for you? I'm interested in one of your stocks. I am in Canada.

What if it were an 80% stock?
Or if you had a parting line down the center (length wise) and some epoxy, then it's a kit.

Law are there to be dodged

My local post person looked up the import regulations for Canada via the mails, and within specific guidelines, you can ship a bullpup stock to Canada, legally.  I have shipped three stocks to Canada since then.  I also made no mention of packages being gun-related, as that would most likely get the shipment rejected out of hand.

Shipping cost runs about $50 US, and it may take as much as two weeks to get it there.

That would work for me, since my stocks are in two pieces, attached to each other with button head screws.  I could ship them in kit form, instead of already assembled.

Don't want to start a new topic, but would like to refresh this one.
Is there any news/updates to it?
There was a conversation last year I had with the seller in the gun shop. From the best of my memory. I waved the issue about the bullpup stocks and its unclear status for SKSes in Canada/Ontario. The answer was: it is not illegal. Their store used to import SGWs year or so ago (remember, I visited them in the summer of 2019). I addition he said that if there is an acceptable 18.5in/470mm length of barrel, and 26in/660mm overall length, it still under non-restricted firearms, but only in case if there is no mods done to barrel/bolt/receiver/original trigger group.

I am still thinking whether it is legal to own it in Ontario, CANADA.
I purchased a donor-stock and trigger group for the bullpup project. Already started iot, but it is unclear for me whetyher it is legal to make one on my own.

Any ideas/news/suggestions???
