Import Tips
• Obtain Federal Firearms License (FFL) and ATF import permit; verify end-user certificates to prevent diversion
• Declare exact caliber, bullet weight, and primer type; misclassification as sporting ammo can trigger penalties
• Comply with ITAR if military-spec; separate reporting for components like primers if applicable
