Bringing firearms into the country

Importation is a separate permission from the license to deal, with its own application, its own conditions, and a customs release that does not happen automatically. This chapter covers who may import, how, and on what terms.

In this chapter

  • Why importation needs its own authorization, and what happens without one
  • How a licensed importer applies, and what conditional release from customs means
  • Which importations are exempt, and the standard a curio or relic must meet
