Import Tips

Obtain ATF Form 6 import permit and ensure end-user certificate for sporting use; prohibited for certain calibers if deemed military-style

If imported with telescopic sights, separately value and report rifle and optics per statistical notes to avoid duty miscalculation

Verify serialized receiver matches import docs; common pitfalls include missing proof of non-military end-use and incomplete EEI filing
