International shipping
Does anybody at this here fine forum know how you go about shipping a C&R gun to a European country? I have looked all over the internet and I am now more confused than when I started.
Thanks for any response.

Anyone know if it is legal for a US citizen to ship a Swarovski scope to a citizen in Buenos Aires Argentina? 0 -
you most likely will lose the scope to Customs [:(!] 0 -
Thanks for the information. I have decided not to make the sale. 0 -
I have found that the best way to handle this type request is to tell them: "If you have a US agent (an FFL/Exporter), I can ship to him; otherwise, I am unable to sell to you."

EDIT: The US Export Control Act is administered by the Dept of State. The US Munitions List is specific as to which items can be exported to which countries. And, yes, folks are doing hard time in federal prison for attempting to ship riflescopes & laptop computers to the wrong countries. I am mystified as to why someone would risk 2 years at Allenwood or the stockade in Eglin AFB just to make $50 on a sale.0 -
A friggen scope,,really,,I mean,you stopping crime in its tracks-some "laws/rules" are just so absurd-[|)]
And I don't need any lecture from any expert-0 -
You can't send firearms parts or optics to our northern friends in Canada....

We have optics available that many middle east country do not have Like Night vision tactical scopes . sorry This is not a lecture but just a wake up call We have young men and women that could lose their life because some towel head got a high tech scope shipped to him through a middle man [V] EDIT FUN Tell that To Locust Fork she lost total cost to her scope to customs . 0 -
If it's just a plain ole optical scope, you won't have any problem. Just put "optical scope" on the customs form. There is really no rational reason to fear doing business overseas. I've bought antique guns from Canada, Bayos from Germany and the UK and a bunch of IJA items from Tokyo.
I've sold GPS units to the UK and water sampling equipment to Italy, swords to India, and Nazi daggers to the Swiss.
Get out and see the world boys. It's not as scary as you believe (or have been told by the people who have never done it themselves).[;)]0 -

I always used to follow the Customs info available on the US Post Office web site. That is why it is there, to let you know what you can ship. At that time I found out you can not ship firearm parts or playing cards to Spain. No Pork to the solders in Iraq either.0
