Bringing in a Trijicon or EOTech

Is it illegal to ship a Trijicon or EOTech to Canada from other countries but US?

No, order as many as you want.

No. It's not illegal to ship it from the U.S. either. They are export restricted, but can be exported with the proper permits. Sadly, those are very expensive, hence the reason people try to smuggle them out of the U.S.

Our legal system couldn't give a crap about that, but the Americans can flag you for it and deny your entry to the U.S., or you may face prosecution there if you are caught.

So, if I bring a Trijicon or EOTech into Canada, do I need a proper permit?

You need an import permit (from our side) and export permit (from the American side) as well as an end-user agreement.

This is the problem, you will not be willing to pay an exporter $1750 for the cost of the export permit for a $500 EoTech.

See the problem here?
