Importing Firearms

There are a number of restrictions relating to the importation of firearms. You must contact the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) to obtain an important permit. Some antique firearms are exempt from this requirement but you should speak to the ATF for full information. Request Form #OMB No. 1512-0017. You can contact them at:
