It's not illegal. It's not a lot fun to get an export licence, and having to complete the necessaay paperwork for each shipment is a pain. The real problem are the importation, customs regulations and other laws (e.g. barrel proof requirements in Great Britain) of the importing country.

To get stuff form the US the Department of Defence has to approve the export.
Furthermore, besides the incredible bureaucracy you would have to wade through, lots of items are 'sensitive' and not allowed to be exported, EVER. So there went my plans to buy an AR in 6.8mmSPC. It's not allowed to be exported. And .50 rifles, they're too sensitive to be exported.
In essence, the export process is completely controlled, and highly bureaucratized and militarized.
That's just the impression I got. And it's sad, because US prices are great, and Canada's import laws are great, so it could be a winning combination if not for the defence department.

I believe a lot of this started under Jimmah Carter
How is a shooter in Alberta, Canada a threat to the US?
Sorry about our laws, Lucky. We are having a hard time just keeping 50 caliber rifles legal in the US
