Importing from Canada to the United States

We import firearms and accessories from Canada into the United States. Please make sure your item can legally enter the US first: import fees are not refundable. A firearm must qualify as a "sporting firearm" under ATF rules. See ATF's import guidance and the Factoring Criteria for Weapons (ATF Form 4590).

Fees, paid in CAD when you submit the import form

Service	Fee
Import, per firearm (one form per firearm)	$200 CAD
Bonded shipping from our Canadian warehouse to our US warehouse, with in-person customs clearance	$50 CAD

Fees that may apply later

Fee	Amount
Package over 50 lb	$2 USD per lb over 50
More than one box arriving at our Canadian facility	$50 USD per extra box
Paperwork missing from the box	$100 USD

Paid after US customs clearance, in USD

Engraving of the importer's markings ("IRUNGUNS, Lake Havasu City, AZ"), required by US law on every imported firearm: $25 USD. Not needed if IRUNGUNS originally imported the firearm and it is now going back to the US.
Duty and US tariffs, if any. Items that don't qualify under CUSMA/USMCA are subject to duty, and firearms not of US origin may be subject to US tariffs.
Shipping to your FFL dealer.
Paying by card adds 3% to everything collected beyond the import fee; paying by Zelle or EFT avoids it.

How it works

Have the details ready: manufacturer, model, calibre, barrel length, country of origin and value, plus your PAL if you live in Canada.
Complete the import form, one form per firearm. You'll receive an e-mail with a PDF, including the Client Contact Form.
Complete the Client Contact Form and e-mail it to nick@irunguns.ca. Put a copy inside the box with your item.
If the firearm is restricted or prohibited in Canada, it must first be transferred to IRUNGUNS INC through the Chief Firearms Officer. Call our Canadian office at (780) 449-7220, option 1, to start the transfer with Carolyn.
Ship the item to our Canadian facility by Canada Post Expedited Parcel.
We document the item and file with ATF straight away. ATF approval usually takes 60 to 90 days.
After US customs clearance, we invoice you in USD for the engraving, any duty or tariffs, and shipping to your FFL.

Please note

Trigger locks: include every key or combination for any lock or security device. If a US agency requires a lock to be removed and we have no key, IRUNGUNS is not responsible for any damage caused by removing it.
We don't import firearms whose country of origin is China or Russia; US sanctions prohibit it.
