bradders Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Curious to see if anyone has an answer and/or a way round this. I have a guy in Denmark who has asked me to build a rifle for him. He'd like to pick it up in person when he comes over in August....if possible. Is there any way he can take possession of it in the UK without a UK FAC?

TSG Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I had similar situation with a rifle that a Nowegian mate wanted. Could not come up with a way for him to take it with him without export licence. In the end I got GC at sporting services to do it. Around £250. I do not think the issue sits with the FAC side of things, more turning up at a port without export licence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Thanks for the reply. It looks like air freight export will be the only realistic way to go, but I have been quoted around £375 with included security fees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I must get one of these a week Mark. I turn them down, way more grief than its worth. The only safe way to do it, unless you want a weeks worth of paperwork/grief, is to use an exporter with an RFD such as Graham at Sporting services or Garry at PBS.

Hales Smut Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I don't know how difficult it is to get weapon on the European Arms pasport in Denmark. If he can get it on his arms pasport only with the papers ( numbers, barrel lenght, etc....) that you sent him, it should be no problem. He comes in without the rifle, but brings the pasport and drives back with the arm wich is on the pasport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarms Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Could you put it on your Euro Firearms Certificate, and then take it to Denmark in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Could you put it on your Euro Firearms Certificate, and then take it to Denmark in person? No, that would still be an export. Besides that would work out at an absolute fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 No, that would still be an export. Besides that would work out at an absolute fortune Just the cost of an easyjet flight. Think I've heard of that being done by others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 The last one I did went to CZ I applied for on line export licence - which took a week and required end user agreement and proof of allowance in host country (CZ) I delivered the item myself using easy jet Simple process.

Think I've heard of that being done by others. I did mean with a budget airline obviously! Rather than business class Lufthansa! I would think it would be less than the £375 you mention, and you get a cheap break, and if the guy at the other end is keen probably a bit of foreign shooting!
