If we are assisting you to import a firearm please know that U.S. Customs Service will assess a duty tax of 2.6% on the value of a shotgun, 3.1% on rifles, and 13.3% on rifle scopes if the firearm has not previously been imported into the U.S. We will pay the duty, insurance, age fees and freight on your behalf, and invoice you for these charges after the gun is shipped. Guns entering the country for the first time must be engraved with our name on the firearm. This is done in small letters on barrel of the firearm as per federal law.
The total cost of importing a firearm into the U.S. is a
minimum of $1000.00 USD. These charges may or may not include the fees assessed by the dealer/ in the country that the firearm is being shipped from. The fees can vary greatly depending on value of the gun and the duty that is assessed. Sporting Guns International must provide insurance on the declared value of the shipment unless the firearms are already insured. The insurance fee is $4.71 per $1,000 of declared value of the firearm. The owner of the firearm is responsible for the $1000 deductible.
If you are exporting a firearm, we will work with you to provide all of the necessary export documents the US government agencies requires to help you successfully export your firearm. The regulations regarding the export of firearms varies for each country and we ask that you please know and understand the laws in the country you wish to send the gun into so that you can obtain all of the necessary
import documents needed to take possession of your firearm once it arrives there. The average cost to export is a
minimum of $750.00 USD. This is for the fees that you will be charged by Sporting Guns International, and can be higher depending on the cost of airfare to the country the guns are being exported to.
If you are exporting a rifle and it has a scope attached, please be aware that the export of the scope is controlled by the Commerce Department and may require a separate export permit.
