I'm not from their company but ATF, I run guns and two more importers on us side told me that they cannot import / export AR-15 or AR-10 rifles because they are known as war rifles aka Military tech, handguns are good to go tho

Im at the end of my US immigration process and waiting for final interview, I reached out to two import /exporters to plan ahead when I move and to my surprise I can't take my COLT 6920 (US Manufactured) with me to the US.

unless you have a hunting license or letter saying that you're coming down there for competition there won't be in your way to bring a military style rifle down
There is some ATF form
Difference between Temporary vs permanent import. Permanent is a NO GO.

Try talking to the BATF about that. I asked them a few months ago and they said it was fine as long as it was a personal firearm. If you are doing it as part of a business, then it's a different story.

Thanks, I will look into it. Contacted both Irunguns and borderview about my immigration south and to help me import and both said AR15 are not allowed, handguns were fine.

what about uppers ands parts id think the lower be the prob
I've asked another export broker, it seems like for permanent imports, any semi auto that accepts stanag mags are a no-go.
You should try importing the upper though, maybe also the lower parts without the receiver. Stripped lowers are plenty cheap in the States.

For temporary export to the U.S. for the purposes of hunting or competition, you can Form 6 it yourself. Then you need an ATT to the Border and back, and you’re good to go. There is a time limit on that; don’t recall if it’s 90 days or 6 months max.
As others have said, there is a prohibition on permanent transfer in the ITARS and another piece of legislation. One refers to them as “weapon of war”, another calls them an “offensive weapon for the purpose of combat” or something equally obtuse. Either way, I don’t know that you can take any part of it down permanently. Stripping the parts out of the lower and bringing them down still runs into conflict with ITARS, I believe.
The fact that you’re immigrating may give you a bit more latitude depending on what status you’re coming in on (i.e. resident alien, landed immigrant, etc)

IRunGuns has previously stated that any gun that they import into Canada they can take back out. Buy a stripped lower from them. Sell your current stripped lower here. Have them un-import the rifle.
