If you look on eBay, every seller that sells gen 3's will (should) say that they cannot legally export them.
On the other hand, if you can find a seller willing to risk sending it, you should not have a problem. Thats how I got my Eotech 552. Technically I shouldnt have been allowed to get one, but if you find a seller willing to break federal law and ship it, well, go for it. Its illegal for them to sell it to you, but its not illegal for you to buy it.

Do you have any documentation to support your claim that someone cannot ship EOTech sights across the border? That dosen't seem to make sense to me... |
There are people who can ship them across the border, but your average joe eBay seller cant (not legally). You need an export license. If you look on eBay you will see almost every seller says that due to federal law, they cant ship internationally. While this isnt "proof", a lot of them are actual retailers, who I assume know what they are talking about. I'll try to find actual government documentation though, if thats not good enough for you.
