Star Universal in Canada

[Ronald T]

I reside in Mission BC Canada and am interested in selling a STAR Universal.  The unit is set up for 38 special.  Given the weight, I know shipping would be a killer but more than that, could I import to the USA a loader without an import licence?  I know there are all kinds of restrictions on firearms and firearms related goods.  Is there any on loading units?

Don't know about Reloading Equipment, BUT, Ebay doesn't consider them firearms
related items if that helps..............

I found this on Cast Bullits Forum:
'Just got off thephone with both of the Canadian locations of Cabelas, Very dissapointing. Neither of them ( or the one opening up here in the spring ) carry ANY Boolit casting equipment! So I thought I would call The real Cabelas (US ) they have the lyman 4500 in stock ($ 80.00 cheaper than here in town ) But will not ship any reloading eqipment north of the US border, no dies , lubers, nothing! All of it is prohibited by US law according the the lady that I talked to. I think the Gov is taking this a little too far. The lady was very pleasant and appologetic , but explained the the government is only watching out for the well being of it's population. Perhaps they received an order for a couple of thousand sizers from a group outside the US and were affraid that they were up to no good.'

Thanks for the information.  I've since read both sides and will do a little more checking but I am now of the belief reloading equipment (presses) are OK.  I'm going to check with Gov. authorities to ensure no problems.
