Import Tips

• Obtain ATF import license and ensure compliance with U.S. firearms regulations including serialization and marking requirements

• Declare barrel length and gauge precisely; autoloading shotguns over 18-inch barrels are sporting firearms but verify end-use certification

• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying with mounted optics—report telescopic sights separately per statistical notes if applicable
