Taxes and Duties
You are responsible for all taxes or duties that might be levied by the Canadian revenue authorities. If your item has been manufactured outside of the USA you may incur duty at a 3.5% rate. Other charges such as provincial and/or federal sales taxes may also apply.
We will do our best to give you all costs up front, but there may be charges that we have no control over that you will be liable for.
Payment Options
We accept wire transfers between banking institutions (please ask me for the information if you wish to pay by international wire transfer), money order, certified bank check or business check in USD funds made out to "Kathleen M. Bystrek, Crying Eagle Imports/CEI", as well as Master Card or VISA credit cards, which will be accessed an additional 3%of your payment as stated in the fee schedule. Your credit card statement will show “Indian Village Firearms”.
CRYING EAGLE IMPORTS/CEI holds a class 08 (imports) federal firearms license through the US State Department; we are registered as an Importer pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 (AECA); and also registered with the US Commerce Department for exporting. All exports must get prior approval by the appropriate federal agencies before we can export and this might take some time. I have had an approval overnight in one case and over 3 months in another. Commerce Dept. application (BIS711) approvals take 6 weeks or longer. If you are buying firearms through Crying Eagle a 50% down payment is required before the firearms are ordered, the balance to be paid prior to export. Any advice that we might give regarding your export should in no way be construed to be a substitution for regulations or decisions handed down by US governmental authorities. It is our opinion and advice only. Canadian importers (that’s you, the customer) are responsible for obtaining all the applicable paperwork, i.e., the IIC from Foreign Affairs & International Trade Canada, a current Possession and Acquisition License (PAL); a purchase order for the firearms either from Crying Eagle or a transfer from another dealer. We would hate to get up to Derby Line, VT border crossing and then not be able to turn over your firearm(s) that you have been so patiently waiting for because some paperwork had not been completed.
