Chinese ones can’t. There’s embargo on them.

Embargo on China's sks???

Yep. Chinese military firearms are banned in states. The only exemption I know is shotgun registered for farming purposes. All the sks in states are pretty old.

I looked it up online and didn't find anything about an embargo

Hehe English isn't my first language. I thought you meant states as U.S. states.

Can you explain to me what you mean?

If north Sylva or marstar or whoever wants to get a new shipment in the country from China... I haven't red anywhere that it was impossible.

“Most of the bottom of the barrel stuff went to the states.”

This is what I was replying to my man.

As for embargo in states, here

“It is the policy of the United States to deny licenses and other approvals with respect to defense articles and defense services originating in certain countries or areas. This policy applies to Afghanistan, Belarus (one of the states composing the former Soviet Union), Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mongolia, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and Vietnam. This policy applies to countries or areas with respect to which the United States maintains an arms embargo (e.g., Burma, China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Liberia, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, and UNITA (Angola)). It also applies when an import would not be in furtherance of world peace and the security and foreign policy of the United States.”

You CAN import Chinese sks to Canada because yes my friend, Canada does not have a embargo on that.
