Curious

[Allie 5]

When the time comes for me to go to the US I plan on taking 2 hunting rifles with me. The firearms will accompany me at my POE

I have already secured the the proper documentation and permits for firearm importation from the US Dept. of Justice Alcohol, Tobbacco, Firearms and Explosives

My question is. Although I do have all the required paper work and gone through the proper channels to take em with me is there a chance it'll cause a problem at my POE with Customs and Immigration.

I prefer not to end up leaving my firearms there at Customs as they're of sentimental value and also worth a lot of money

Should be okay if you have the proper permits:

Firearms and Ammunition

Firearms and ammunition are subject to restrictions and import permits. The importation of fully automatic weapons and semi-automatic assault-type weapon is prohibited. Generally, firearms and ammunition acquired abroad may be imported, but only under permit. For complete information, write to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Department of the Treasury, Firearms and Explosives Import Branch, Washington, DC 20226. That agency will furnish permit applications and answer inquiries about the Gun Control Act of 1968.

See this doc under "non-residents/first time immigrants": http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/toolbo....ctt/moving.doc

Yeah I have all the proper permits from US Justice Dept. But was just curious how Customs would be with it all. Only took 2 months to get everything approved. Easier to get permits and paperwork for the guns than getting my paperwork finished up for entry lol lol

Hey thanks for the site too, interesting stuff in there

As long as you have ALL the paperwork you should be fine. i sold mine prior to coming down, was sad to see some of the older ones go, but wasn't worth the hassle
