Importing a PIAT into Canada
Hey guys,
I was wondering if there was any way of legally importing a PIAT into Canada from the US? There is one for sale that I am interested in, but want to go about it legally or maybe it's not worth the hassle at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeff |

Oh, it's worth the hassle, but is it possible?? They are quite legal here. |

Hi Bruce,
Really, that's very interesting. So customs inspecting a regular parcel coming into Canada won't have a fit when they see what's in the package? The last thing I want is for it to get stuck in customs. Where would I find the relevant information to prove they are legal? |

I don't think than an individual will be able to import one from the US anymore, at least not legally. Being military type goods, it will likely need a state department export permit from the US, and since it falls under the goods described as controlled by the directorate of controlled goods, the importer would likely have to register with them here in Canada, as well as get an import permit. My experience with trying to import this type of stuff from the US in the last few years is that the US state dept won't give export permits for these type items except to police, military, and military museums. Your mileage may very. Clive used to handle the Cdn desk for these types of imports here in Canada, he could likely tell you more.

Thanks for the information Rob. I have no experience in this type of matter and really need to know for sure. If there is any question, I will leave it alone.
Hopefully, when Clive has time he can chime in here. Regards, Jeff |
