robcop
Recently I purchased the following 2 shotguns in Turkey. I had heard that i could bring them to the US with no problem. The guards at the Turkish airport said they would have to be shipped cargo if I wanted them. What information do i need to have these guns through customs? i have a friend that will ship them to me i jsut don't want them to be stuck in customs in the United States. Can the guns be shipped into the States? Please Give me anyinformation you have. Thanks

    There should be a U.S. custom office in Turkey.Give them a call, they can tell you all you need to know.

    I am not worried about the customs on the Turkey side of things. Does anyone know if these guns be brought into the US? Are there customs fees and such or can they be freely passed through the process?

    Go to the US consulate and check with them on importing sporting firearms for personal use. You will have to obtain an import permit from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).

    ATF's Washington office only accepts application forms with original signatures, no faxes or copies. Once approved, an ATF permit is valid for one year and the original import permit must be with the firearm when it arrives in the States.

    Normal import duty rules apply to firearms too. U.S. military and civilian personnel will pay duty on any foreign-made firearms acquired overseas if they import them for the first time and do not have official orders authorizing movement back to the USA. Your movement orders allow you to take back any personal property to the States duty-free.

    U.S. civilian employees have fewer freedoms than military personnel when importing firearms into the United States. Yet they may take back firearms without an import permit by presenting proof of prior possession in the United States. If civilians acquire firearms overseas, they must apply to ATF for an import permit. The only break for government employees overseas lets them ship firearms acquired in Europe in their household goods when they return to the States on official orders. Otherwise, civilians must import firearms acquired abroad through a licensed gun dealer.
