Import Tips
• Declare exact model and action type; pump-actions must not be misrepresented as semi-auto to avoid higher scrutiny
• Prepare for ITAR checks if any dual-use features; provide hunting association endorsements where possible
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests commercial rather than sporting end-use to prevent reclassification
