Import Tips
• Use detailed invoices breaking out rifle body and sight values to match statistical note requirements and avoid customs disputes
• Confirm sporting/hunting designation with proof like manufacturer's specs; military-style features may trigger reclassification
• Package sights unmounted if possible to ease separate reporting, but note they must be designed for the imported rifle
