No, according to International Canada.Frequently Asked QuestionsA Canadian has the right to possess a weapon In Canada, but not allowed to bring it through customs on the US-Canadian Border.It depends on the scenario Aswell.Q2. I want to buy a firearm from the US and have it sent to me in Canada.A2. Any holder of a valid Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) may import a restricted or non-restricted firearm, depending on the limitations of their PAL. However, the US control the export of most firearms (antiques and muzzle-loaders are not controlled for export) and the US must issue an export licence to the American exporter. Prior to issuing this licence the US government requires that the Canadian importer present a document from Canada allowing this proposed transaction. To satisfy that US requirement Canadian residents may apply for an International Import Certificate (IIC).The following steps are involved;have the US seller identify the exporter - the US government requires that this exporter be a Federal Firearms Licenced (FFL) gun dealer for most exports. In many cases the US seller is an FFL dealer.apply to Foreign Affairs and Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD) for an International Import Certificate (IIC) by calling (613) 996-2387 or by faxing your request to (613) 996-9933 and requesting blank application forms. Once completed, the form should be returned to ITCan for processing and certification. Expect this process to take 2-3 weeks. The certified document will then be returned to the applicant for onward delivery to the US exporter. There is no charge for the IIC.pre-register the firearm through the Canada Firearms Centre. Pre-registration allows the importer to clear the firearm through the Canada Border Service Agency without any undue delay.the US exporter will attach their copy of the IIC to their application for an export licence. In the US, applications for shotguns are administered by the Department of Commerce and for all other firearms are administered by the Department of State.once the US export licence is issued the US exporter may then send the firearm to Canada.the Canadian importer is responsible for declaring the value of the firearm to Canada Customs and for ensuring that all safe storage and safe transportation regulations are observed.within 30 days of arrival in Canada, the importer must have the firearm verified and such verification confirmed with the Canada Firearms Centre.Q3. I want to go to the US and buy a firearm and return with it to Canada.A3. The US passed new legislation in February 2003 which makes it illegal for a ‘non-resident alien’ to come into possession of a firearm in the US. This does not apply to antiques or muzzle-loading firearms, nor does it apply to Canadians with legal residency in the US or to US citizens, regardless of their residency. A Canadian may purchase a firearm in the US but cannot take possession of it, nor can they export it from the US. The only legal method is to come back to Canada and follow the steps in Question 1 (above).Q4. A family member in the US has given or willed a firearm to a Canadian resident who wishes to import it.A4. The same procedure is required as in Question 1 (above) with a small exception. The ‘holder’ of the firearm in the US would be the exporter and this person can write a letter to the Department of Commerce (shotguns only) or the Department of State (all other firearms) and request a ‘one-time exemption’ from the export licence requirements (refer to Attachment “B” of the Department of State on-line document - PDF, 198 KB.) Note that the Canadian IIC is still required by the US government before the exemption can be granted.Q5. I want to buy parts in the US for my firearm and import them into Canada.A5. The US controls on the export of firearms extends to parts also. For small orders worth less than US$100.00 the US Department of State allows an exemption from the export licence. This exemption, however, does not cover ‘significant’ parts which includes; barrels, slides, cylinders, bolts, frames and receivers. It should be noted that there is no equivalent exemption offered by the Department of Commerce for shotgun parts. Further, there is no exemption for ammunition or ammunition components. Canadian importers should follow the procedure outlined in Q1 (above) to import parts not exempted.Q6. I wish to buy ‘prohibited’ firearms or parts in the US and import them into Canada.A6. The importation of ‘prohibited’ goods is strictly controlled by Canadian legislation. The import of prohibited firearms may only be undertaken by businesses with a Canadian Firearms Business Licence which supply such firearms to the police, military or theatrical/cinematic industries. For more information on import eligibility contact Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada or your Chief Firearms Officer. The import of parts for prohibited firearms is controlled by the “Export and Import Permits Act” (EIPA) and an Import Permit is required. This is in addition to the IIC which may be required by the exporting country. The import of parts for prohibited firearms may require proof that the importer is a ‘grand-fathered’ owner of the firearms in question and that the imported parts are to maintain the prohibited firearm in a safe condition.Q7. I want to import a replica or an air-gun.A7. Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada does not control the importation of replica firearms or of airguns. Contact the Canada Firearms Centre or the Canada Border Services Agency for more information.Q8. I want to permanently export a firearm to the US.A8. Firearms that are classified as either antique, restricted or non-restricted may be exported to the US without a Canadian Export Permit. However, the Canadian exporter must be in possession of an approved US import permit (currently this is a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Form 6 (BATF Form 6)). To export prohibited firearms the exporter must apply for an export permit from Foreign Affairs and Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD). Blank applications are available by calling (613) 996-2387 or by faxing your request to (613) 996-9933. Completed applications must be accompanied by a US Import Permit (BATF Form 6) which specifically identifies the firearm to be exported. Canadian exporters are required to report the permanent export of firearms to the Canada Firearms Centre. It is recommended that copies of the Export Permit, foreign import authorisation and any waybill issued by the carrier be provided to the Canada Firearms Centre to support the exporters claim of permanent export. A photocopy of the foreign import authorisation should be included with the package when shipped.Q9. I want to go to the US to hunt or to shoot in a competition.A9. The US passed legislation in 2002 which now requires all ‘non-resident aliens’ to obtain a temporary import permit (BATF Form 6NIA) prior to travelling in the US with a firearm. This document requires proof of registration at a shooting event or possession of a valid hunting licence issued by any State of the US. The Form 6 can be applied for on-line as can some State hunting licences. Once issued the Form 6 can be valid for up to a year (in the case of hunters) or to the date of the competition. Canadian firearms owners should be prepared to show proof of firearms licence and registration when they return to Canada.Q10. I want to permanently export a firearm to a country other than the USA10. In keeping with Canada’s multilateral agreements on the international movement of firearms, the Canadian exporter must obtain an Export Permit from Foreign Affairs and Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD). Blank applications are available by calling (613) 996-2387 or by faxing your request to (613) 996-9933. Completed applications must be accompanied by an import authorisation issued by the destination country. In cases where no import authorisation is required, a letter of explanation, issued by the destination country, must be provided. Allow 6-8 weeks for the application to be processed. Canadian exporters are required to report the permanent export of firearms to the Canada Firearms Centre. It is recommended that copies of the Export Permit, foreign import authorisation and any waybill issued by the carrier be provided to the Canada Firearms Centre to support the exporters claim of permanent export. A photocopy of the foreign import authorisation should be included with the package when shipped.Q11. I want to take my firearm hunting or to a shooting competition to a country other than the US.A11. The temporary export of firearms requires an Export Permit from Foreign Affairs and Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD). Blank applications are available by calling (613) 996-2387 or by faxing your request to (613) 996-9933. The need for an import authorisation from the destination country is waived. Conditions attached to the temporary Export Permit require that the firearm be returned to Canada and that proof of such return is reported to ITCan. Canadian exporters wishing to take their firearms into another country should ensure that their plans are in keeping with the firearms law of the destination country.Q12. I want to export my firearm to a foreign country and it must travel through one or more intermediary countriesA12. Many countries control the ‘in-transit’ movement of firearms and ammunition through their territory. Ensure that you or your carrier are aware of any requirements and whether those requirements are limited to ‘third party’ movements, i.e., a freight company is transiting a foreign country as opposed to the owner transporting their own firearm through a foreign country. The Canadian government cannot assist in cases where a firearm has been seized by a foreign government because their transit regulations were not observed. In the case of firearms shipped through the US, refer to Attachment “C” of the Department of State on-line document (PDF, 198 KB).Contact informationCANADATrade Controls BureauForeign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada111 Sussex Ave.Ottawa, ON K1A 0G2Telephone: (613) 996-2387Fax: (613) 996-9933Canada Border Services AgencyAutomated Customs Information ServicesTelephone: (800) 461-9999 (from within Canada)(204) 983-3500 / (506) 636-5064 (from outside Canada, long-distance charges apply)Canada Firearms CentreTelephone: (800) 731-4000 (from North America)UNITED STATESFirearms and Explosives Imports BranchBureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives244 Needy RoadMartinsburg, WV 25405Telephone: (304) 616-4550Fax: (304) 616-4551NIA Fax: (304) 616-4554Website: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and ExplosivesDepartment of StateDirectorate of Defence Trade ControlsPM/DDTC, SA-1, 12th FloorBureau of Political Military Affairs U.S. Department of StateWashington, DC 20522-0112Telephone:(202) 663-1282 (for general inquiries about and guidance on licensing and compliance matters)Fax: (202) 261-8199Email: [email protected]: http://pmddtc.state.gov/Department of CommerceBureau of Industry and Security14th St & Pennsylvania Ave. NWWashington DC 20230Export Counselors at 202-482-4811 (Washington, DC) or 408-998-8806 (Northern California) or Exporter's Inquiry FormWebsite: BIS

Immediately After DeathImmediately after someone dies, several things need to happen. First, a medical professional will need to fill out the Pronouncement of Death form. Then arrangements will have to be made to move the body from its place of death. Finally, a death registration form must be completed and filed with the county in which the person died. And, if the person dies out of state (away from their home) or out of the country there are additional steps that will need to be taken.Pronouncement of death and transportationRegistration of the death and death certificatesDeath out of stateDeath out of the countryTransporting ashesPronouncement of death and transportationArrangements will need to be made to transport the body to a mortuary, crematory or the coroner’s office unless there is going to be a home burial service. However, before the body can be moved anywhere, a medical professional will need to complete a Pronouncement of Death form. The date and time on the form will become the official time of death.If it appears that the death was not from natural causes, the Coroner’s office will be contacted to see if an autopsy needs to be done.If the death occurs in a hospital:Someone at the hospital will complete the Prouncement of Death form.Federal law requires the person completing the Pronouncement of Death form to notify the hospital’s organ procurement staff. The organ procurement staff will talk with the family about the opportunity to donate organs or tissue.The hospital or a family member will call the funeral home and make arrangements for the body to be picked up and transferred to a funeral provider or other designated facility. If the hospital has a morgue, they may transfer the body there while waiting for transportation.If the death occurs at home:Someone will have to call 911 and request that a person be sent to the house to complete the Pronouncement of Death form. If hospice was involved, they can complete the form.If the death is a result of an accident:Pronouncement of death may be at the scene of the accident or the body may be taken to a hospital or a coroner’s office, where the pronouncement will occur.If the death is in a nursing home:Medical professionals there can also complete the form.The nursing staff there will arrange for an immediate pickup of the body since they don’t have a morgue in which to store the body. In fact, most nursing homes, as part of their admitting practice, require the identification of a funeral establishment in case of death. Then the nursing home can make arrangements to transfer the body to that funeral home if they can’t immediately locate the next of kin.If arrangements have been made to donate the body to medical science:The next of kin or designated agent should notify the medical institution with which the deceased made prior arrangements to ask what they want done with the body. A contact name and phone number should be available in the contract provided by the medical institution. FYI, the contract should specify whether the institution or the estate will be for transportation of the body.If death is unexpected, traumatic or suspicious, or the cause of death cannot be documented on the death certificate:The body may need to be taken to the coroner’s office where an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause. Different county and state laws determine whether the coroner is required to examine the body.If an autopsy is to be performed, the state in which the person died may require a family member to sign an authorization form. Some counties have funds available for autopsy and body transportation; others may charge for these services.Once the autopsy has been completed, the body will be released.ReturnRegistration of the death and death certificatesState laws require the funeral provider, coroner or person in charge of a home funeral to complete the following:Death Registration form – This form collects two types of information about the deceased. The first is demographic information and is usually provided by the deceased’s family. The second type identifies the cause of death; that information is provided by a physician or coroner.Burial Permit form – identifies the type of disposition that has been chosen and also states where the deceased will be buried or where and how the ashes will be scattered.Both of these forms must be submitted to the County Recorder in the county in which the deceased died for review and approval. The body cannot be disposed of without them having been signed by the County Recorder. After disposal, the entity responsible for that disposal must sign the Burial Permit form and return it to the County Recorder.FYI, the county office processing death registration forms is called different names in different counties and states including the Department of Health, the Department of Vital Statistics or the Recorder’s Office.Once the County Recorder has certified the death registration form as complete and accurate, they can provide:A Certified Death Abstract (commonly called a Death Certificate) printed on official paper. This certified death abstract is the document most organizations require as proof of the death. For example, if the deceased had a life insurance policy, the company will not provide benefits without this proof of death.The executor of the estate must pay a fee for every copy of this form that is needed; it varies by state but usually ranges between $10 and $15 each. An original certified death abstract includes the signature of the County Recorder as well as the county seal. Some organizations processing death claims will accept a photocopy of the death certificate but many require an original. On average, ten certified death abstracts are required to settle an estate.The certified copy of the death registration form is called a Certified Death Abstract because the information on it is an abstract of the data actually collected on your death registration form. The abstract only lists the name of the deceased and his or her date of birth. The death registration form also collects the cause and place of death information, which is provided by a physician or a coroner.Most mortuaries or crematories can help the designated agent or executor to obtain certified original death abstracts by requesting them when they submit the death registration form to the county in which the deceased died. They will pay the certified death registration fees to the county and then bill these costs as part of the funeral. If the funeral director does not do this, or if the funeral agent or executor finds that they need additional originals, they will need to visit the county recorder and request them. Because certified death abstracts are often used in identify theft, some states now require any later requests for death certificates to be submitted on notarized forms.A copy of the Death Registration form is kept on file in the County Recorder’s office where the death occurred for a period of time which varies by state. The County Recorder then forwards the approved Death Registration form to the State Department of Vital Statistics where the signed death registration will be stored as a permanent record.The designated agent, executor or next of kin should check the death registration form carefully for any errors. If the date of death is entered incorrectly, the printed death certificate will show the wrong date of death, which could be a problem in closing out accounts, settling insurance claims, etc.ReturnDeath out of stateIf the deceased died out of state and desires a traditional burial service, their designated agent or a family member will probably need to arrange to transport their body back home. This will require the coordination of a funeral home in each city. Most funeral homes have relationships with world-wide agencies that specialize in shipping bodies home. If a body is shipped on a common carrier, it must be embalmed prior to shipping or sealed in an airtight casket or transportation container.The cost for shipping human remains via air within the United States ranges from $275 to $1,500 plus applicable tax. For example, to ship a body from California to New York costs $525; from Florida to Massachusetts costs $305.Source: Delta Cares – a division of Delta Air Lines – published rates 6/09Two other options can also be considered:A funeral and burial in the city in which the death occurred.Cremation in the city of death and then shipment of the cremains.If the deceased purchased a pre-need funeral policy, it may be transferable to the city in which the deceased actually died. It depends on the actual policy and the state in which the deceased officially resided. Whoever is handling funeral arrangements should contact the funeral home with whom the deceased signed a contract to find out what should or can be done.Involving the funeral home that will be used for the funeral is usually a good first step. They can help to arrange transportation, etc.ReturnDeath out of the countryIf the deceased died outside of the United States, the designated agent or a relative should contact the United States Consulate in the country in which the death occurred and they should be asked for help in making the arrangements for the return of the body or for its disposition in the foreign city. See http://usembassy.state.gov/ for a list of the consulate addresses and phone numbers.The U.S. Department of State should also be contacted for further information and help.Certain documents are required by U.S. and foreign countries’ laws before remains can be sent from one country to another and those documents may vary depending on the circumstances of the death.A U.S. consular mortuary certificate-prepared by the U.S. consular office, and will be required if the body is being returned to the United States. This document, written in English, contains necessary information including the cause of the death. Generally, if the remains have been embalmed, the documentation which accompanies the consular mortuary certificate will satisfy U.S. public health requirements.A foreign death certificate provided by the U.S. consular mortuary (if available).The affidavit of the foreign funeral director – This document attests that the casket contains only the deceased’s body and clothing, plus packing materials.The body transmit permit – It will accompany the remains to the United States and is issued by local health authorities at the port of embarcation.A bill of lading – If the remains are not accompanied by a passenger, a bill of lading must be issued by the airline carrier to cover the body’s transportation.Report of Death of an American Citizen Abroad- Prepared by the Consular Officer, this report includes the essential facts concerning the death, planned disposition of the remains and custody of the deceased’s personal effects. It may also serve as a death certificate in the United States for probate, inheritance and other purposes. The next of kin will also find this report helpful in dealing with insurance companies, Social Security Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, financial institutions such as banks and credit card companies, or any other situation in which proof of death is needed.If the remains have not been embalmed, the U.S. consular officer should alert U.S. Customs and the U.S. Public Health Service at point of entry in advance, faxing copies of the consular mortuary certificate, local death certificate (if available), affidavit of the foreign funeral director and a formal statement from competent foreign authorities stating that the individual did not die from a communicable disease. Otherwise, the deceased’s family may have a problem getting the body back into the United States.Once the body is received by a local funeral provider in the United States, that provider will complete the required death registration form and cremation or burial permit forms.If the deceased is a U.S. citizen and when he or she dies abroad there is no legal representative present in the country, the consular office usually notifies the deceased’s next of kin by official telegram relayed through the Department of State in Washington, D.C. The U.S. consular office will then receive instructions from the deceased’s legal representative and will arrange for disposition of the remains. The consul can also act as provisional conservator of the deceased’s personal effects, such as jewelry and clothing and will pay local debts such as a hospital bill, from funds available in the deceased’s estate of from funds received from the legal representation.Further information about document and assistance from the U.S. Consular Office is available at http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/abroad/events-and-records/death.htmlReturnTransporting AshesIf the body is cremated in an out of state or out of country location and the ashes are being brought home or taken to another location to be scattered, there are Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations that must be followed.If the urn is being transported as carry-on luggage, it MUST pass through the x-ray machine and be screened. Whoever is carrying the urn or other container needs to be sure it is made of a material that can be successfully x-rayed, such as wood, plastic or a non-lead lined ceramic. If the container is made of a material that generates an opaque image and prevents the security scanner from clearly seeing what’s inside, the container will NOT be allowed through the security checkpoint. And under no circumstances will a screener open the container or urn, even if the person carrying it requests this action.
