Import Tips
• Obtain an import permit from ATF and comply with ITAR regulations for firearms; ensure serial numbers match documentation
• Declare exact model, caliber, and barrel length; revolvers must be reported separately from any included accessories
• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as a pistol—revolvers have revolving cylinders, triggering statistical suffix .20
