Adamdavi3s Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hi all, What can I legally bring back from the states? I'll be with my family so looking for 0-hassle items, or I guess I can post them to myself As I understand: Nothing military (aimpoints, acogs, magpul) No magazines Nothing over $100? No scopes over 9x? Items I am specifically thinking of are: For the AR: Luth-AR stock and grip Possibly a new buffer tube etc New quad rail BAD lever Charging handle Some sort of light 1-8ish scope Other: Boyds Stock for my CZ .22 Bullet heads and brass?

Tikka4Sika Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I don't see bringing any of that would be a problem with HMRC if you have an FAC, however the Yanks may have a different view on export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too worried about this end as they could all be for Airsoft use (with the exception of the heads and brass) it's more what I can't bring out under ITAR or without an export license Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miki Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 You can't send Brass and Heads in the post or with TNT/DHL (I tried and they got bounced back to sender) but I think (for prersonal use) you can hand carry/bring them home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJC Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thank you, that is a constructive answer and I hadn't thought of asking them directly. It depends what you are trying to export as below. Most firearms and ammunition must be exported in accordance with the provisions of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976. Regulations implementing this Act generally require a license to be obtained from the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. Additional information may be accessed online at: http://www.pmddtc.state.gov/index.html. The export of sporting shotguns and ammunition for sporting shotguns is regulated by the U.S. Department of Commerce. An export license is generally needed to export these shotguns and ammunition. For further information, contact the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security. Contact information may be found online at: http://www.bis.doc.gov/. DIRECTORATE OF DEFENSE TRADE CONTROLS: Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778). Speak with the DOJ too. They are the ones who are going to decide whether to prosecute you. If they say they won't then that's helpful to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, unfortunately the .22 went to a new owner, was wonderful but I couldn't justify keeping it at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
