I have gone through this process now a couple times over the past few years, and I think I have a good enough understanding to give you an overview. If you are interested in importing a firearm, the two things to know are that (1) it is possible to legally do this, and (2) it will be pretty expensive to do. <\/p>\n<p>The customs broker I use is Polaris Worldwide Logistics (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.polaris-logistics.com\/)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.polaris-logistics.com\/)<\/a>. They were one of the supporters of Desert Brutality, and my import experience with them has been the best of any of the several companies I have used. I would highly recommend them if you are looking to get into this process. You can reach them via the head of their firearms department, Les Winner, at les.winner@polaris-logistics.com.<\/p>\n<p>Some resources that will be useful in this process:<\/p>\n<p>ATF Import Guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/docs\/guide\/atf-guidebook-importation-verification-firearms-ammunition-and-implements-war\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/docs\/guide\/atf-guidebook-importation-verification-firearms-ammunition-and-implements-war\/download<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Form 6: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/docs\/form\/form-6-part-1-application-and-permit-importation-firearms-ammunition-and\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/docs\/form\/form-6-part-1-application-and-permit-importation-firearms-ammunition-and\/download<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Form 4590 (handgun requirements): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/docs\/form\/atf-form-4590-factoring-criteria-weapons\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/docs\/form\/atf-form-4590-factoring-criteria-weapons\/download<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\/home<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>\nForgotten Weapons<br \/>\n6281 N.
