Will my collection of rifles and shotguns cause any sort of friction at the border when landing? (no handguns) Additional costs/forms?

Thanks!

There are a lot of rules and procedures for importing firearms. First of all, you need to have a Canadian Acquisition and Possession license either at the timer you import them or shortly thereafter. Also, if you are transporting the firearms by car, you also need to check the law in every US state you pass through or you could have a lot of friction in a traffic stop if you aren't transporting them legally according to the laws of that state. Best to do your research on this one well beforehand.

See this link for more info and then check the CBSA brochure on importing firearms also. Then make sure you check the laws for each American state you drive through on the way to the border
