EXPORT PRICING
Important Note: For items being sold/purchased for export, U.S. law requires that the Exporter be the Seller of the item(s). Please visit our ‘Buy On Your Behalf Service’ page for details and pricing. Do not proceed to make a purchase or send payment directly to a U.S. supplier without first making suitable arrangements with Borderview.

[1] The “same shipment” means guns or items that arrive at our office around the same time and are thus exported / imported at the same time. If ordering multiple guns, contact us if you wish to ensure simultaneous shipment.
[2] Firearms manufactured before 1899 are antique by U.S. standards, but may not be classified as Antique in Canada. In order to qualify for ‘Antique’ pricing, such firearms must be verified as Antique in both countries.
[3] A “line item” is a reasonable quantity of a single model/type of item. For example, 4 barrels of the same make, length and caliber is one line item, whereas 2 each of two calibers would be two line items.
