I have just found out the hard way that the CBSA's Prohibited Importation Unit is now classifying all "flipper style" knives as prohibited items (incredibly wrong, in my opinion) and as such is seizing any of these they come across. I spoke to a CBSA officer after my (very expensive) Zero Tolerance 0450 was seized in Mississauga, ON. They cited a Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) decision, AP-2012-072 "CBSA v. R. CHRISTIE", and advised that an appeal would likely be rejected. Begrudgingly, I will be returning that package to its sender.
I have neither the time nor financial resources to challenge them in court.
The (bs) reasoning told to me on the phone was since the flipper tab passes through the handle during deployment, they can consider it part of the handle.
