Import Tips
• Verify ATF import license requirements for firearm-related components and ensure end-user certificates
• Declare exact caliber and material composition; brass vs steel affects valuation and potential reclassification
• Avoid common pitfall of importing loaded vs empty shells—loaded fall under different subheadings with higher scrutiny
