Import Tips
• Obtain ATF import license and comply with ITAR regulations for firearms; declare value precisely to stay within $25-$50 bracket
• Separate telescopic sights if included, per statistical notes, and report components individually to avoid reclassification
• Ensure end-user certificates proving sporting/hunting use, avoiding military classification pitfalls
