Full Details

Initial classification only — pending editorial verification. Firearms is generally prohibited from postal / courier import into United States under the customs authority's published parcel-prohibition list. Postal items found in transit are typically seized at the destination international mail centre and the addressee may be issued a notice of seizure; depending on quantity and product class, additional administrative or criminal liability may apply. Mailers should consult U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) before dispatch.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Do not mail Firearms to United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) screens international parcels and seizes prohibited items. If you have already dispatched, contact the carrier to recall before customs clearance.
