Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'blank ammunition only' and provide barrel obstruction photos to demonstrate no live-fire capability
• Comply with ITAR export controls from origin country and file EEI for US imports over $2500
• Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete serialization reporting, which can trigger ATF scrutiny
