boreal, I have was told by customs person to person shipments (such as ebay) are exempt from this agreement. But with so many dealer now using ebay to market stuff one must still use caution to make sure you actually get the product over the invisible line. If interested I'd call canadian customs before you buy, it just might save you hassle in the long run. I have still yet to see the replacement scope from Bushnell I think they shipped by paddle from JAPAN!
