There are many items that in the name of Homeland Security are restricted to ship across US borders without previous import/export licensing paperwork in advance. Rifle scopes are one of them. The US State Department will have a list.
Dennis is absolutely correct, and the cost of the paperwork is astronomic.
The Homeland Security gang have screwed over the small to medium US retailers and manufacturers big time. Just ask any of them.
So I take it that individuals shipping abroad is next to impossible. Right?
For any parts on the restricted list, yes.
They are stupid laws, for sure. I can send a reasonable lot of unprimed rifle brass almost anywhere in the world (except Canada), but something as innocent as a spring . . .

So is scopes on the restricted list? Or how do I find the list?
Ray, brass is on the restricted list too, all components ... nothing to do with Canada, just US export laws.
I am a cartridge collector and if I send empty cases and loose bullets as inert collectors cartridges, the package will sail thru customs without a question. As long as the number is reasonable.

There's usually a big gap between what a law says and the extent that federales want to pursue violaters. What is surprising to me is that most all collectors I know are very leery when it comes to shipping any cartridges between Canada and the US, and yet, they will trade willingly with collectors in all other parts of the world. Maybe they've heard about those Canadian jails?
