Good news on ITAR

[Prophet River]

As many of you may have heard, import of rifles and handguns their parts and the ammunition went through the USA state department, but was to be switched to the much easier commerce department. Also, they 'changed the rules' back in late summer resulting in massive import delays. The changeover was scheduled for March 9 but several democratic states challenged the switch over. They was a court hearing this past Monday and the judge ruled today that the switch over is to proceed. So, as of this Monday morning coming, things will be much quicker and easier for rifle and handgun imports. Great news!!!!

 

[cycoblade]

what about parts?

 

[Canadian Shadow]

Awesome, was just contemplating an order and wondered where things stood.

 

[Prophet River]

what about parts?

Yes, parts and ammunition for rifles and handguns all go to commerce.

 

[The Baron]

Excellent news. More access to anything firearm related is welcome news.

Reloading components? ooh ooh ooh... Importing specific things for the ballistic lab is a pain in the ass.

Can we order from Brownells? Dont want to undercut your business though

 

[Schlieren]

Does this impact existing fees?

You can order from wherever you see fit as long as they do the commerce department export permit and you provide them with an IIC.

 

[Prophet River]

Does this impact existing fees?

Yes, commerce is slightly cheaper as the actual cost to submit an application is free vs $300.00 US$ That is why we always charged 200.00 per shotgun (commerce) vs 250.00 for a rifle/handgun (USA State Department)

What is IIC ?

 

[Aestus]

Does this mean we can use you guys to import rifles/handguns in the next week or so?

International Import Certificate

 

[Mik123]

When will you be up and running for rifle imports?

Also, will things proceeds as before (i.e. I purchase a rifle in the US, the seller ships the rifle to you with the import form and I submit the online form on your website)?

 

[Prophet River]

What is IIC ?

IIC= International Import Certificate. You need to provide one to the exporter to get an approval from the commerce department.

 

[Prophet River]

Does this mean we can use you guys to import rifles/handguns in the next week or so?

Yes, and once we get some licenses in pace, things should be very quick, perhaps less than a month average for most imports.

We are up and running now but we will have the info back up online early next week. Yes, that is correct procedure.

Sounds good. I missed a few good deals while this bureaucratic mess got sorted.
