Import Tips & Compliance

• Ensure barrel length complies with 18 U.S.C. § 921 definitions to avoid short-barrel shotgun restrictions

• Document end-use as sporting/replacement part, not for assembly into restricted firearms

• Use ISF filings early for firearm parts to meet 24-hour advance manifest requirements
