This is another 4457 post. I have been to CBP 3 times this year. First two times zero problems with the suppressors.
Today I head down to get a 4457 signed for a new suppressor and they will not sign it. The woman tells me I need to get something from the US commerce department. I stopped listening after that.
I tell her that I already have 2 and show her the copies I have on my phone and she tells me that I should not have received those.
I have written a letter to CBP but the web site states it may take 5 days.
The outfitter says that the person is wrong. I know they are wrong but if they won’t sign it they won’t sign it.
Does anyone have any documentation from a higher up in the CBP showing that it’s just a piece of paper showing ownership?
Or does anyone have a link to some sort of official rule that will show that a suppressor can be taken to South Africa and back?
The silly part of all of this is I have NEVER had anyone on either side check the paperwork or the suppressors on any of my trips.
I’m looking forward to your help while I wait for CBP to reply.
