Permanently importing firearms, ammunition, or other defense articles into the United States is a complicated and paperwork-heavy process that involves multiple government agencies and lots of tariffs, port fees, and a detail-oriented filing process. We are here to make it as easy as possible for individuals and other FFLs to bring in items from abroad.
In general, the ATF Form 6 Part I is the starting point for any importation project. It is this Form that the ATF will [hopefully] approve that will allow the foreign seller/manufacturer to ship the items to the United States, usually by air-mail. Lemcoe Precision has completed many importation projects, and we can provide a one-stop-shop to get your items imported quickly, legally, and with minimal costs.
After the item(s) have arrived in the United States, they must then clear Customs with a variety of forms and an ATF Form 6A which allows it to be released from the port of entry. It is at this time that any tariffs, duties, and other costs involved will be paid to a variety of government agencies and a customs broker.
