Importation or Transiting Procedures Through Countries with Weapons & Ammunition

I should have been clearer. I'm stopping in London for a few days after a hunting trip, to find an apartment starting September 1. Then return home, and a month later, head back without the guns! I agree - storage would kill me!


Thank. Very kind, but let's save it for when (or if!) I graduate!


It does cut into my hunting time. I've had to postpone my Lord Derby hunt by a year into 2019 - the last of the spiral horns I need!

We all have to make sacrifices . . . Or so my wife tells me.
Yes, more clear now, but I still see an interesting non-hunting report in your future!
 
Well, there will be one or two real hunt reports first. I'm sitting on a very comfortable Dreamliner at the moment, about to leave for Paris and then to Benin for a hunt with Christophe Morio.

Will get started on that one in Paris.
 
I have a question for an upcoming hunt with Pieter Erasmus. One of the rifles I intend to take with me is a Cooper model 54 in 6.5 Creedmoor. The caliber on the barrel is stamped 6.5 CRDMR. The ammo boxes will say 6.5 Creedmoor. So on the Saps 520 form under calibre should I spell out Creedmoor or go with CRDMR.
Thanks in advance,
Stan

6.5 Creedmoor
 
Anyone have trouble with archery equipment on Emirates?

Check with henry's but they look at the barrel for serial number and caliber not your ammo boxes. I would do what is on the barrel unless henry tells you different.

Hi Jeff, we had several clients with bows last year on Emirates and no problems. You do have to get their weapons transit permit just like a firearm.

Thank you for the input, I didn't know that and will contact Emirates and see about the permit. Thanks again!

Jeff, message me your email address and I'll send you the information - it's all done online with Emirates and it can take 4 weeks to get approval back.

Always stay in touch with your Outfitter to check on the last minute development/possible changes regarding rifle and ammo importation.
 
I have tried to send SAPs an email trying to import my handgun from Canada to RSA for a hunt. Anyone have a new email in order to start the paperwork. Cheers

What are you trying to start? SAPS520 can be completed at the airport when you arrive. (Actually, complete it all but the signature before you arrive and sign it in front of the officer.)
Do you have your Canadian Export Permit yet?

Brickburn: I have the 1042 forms printed off. Where do I find this other form(s), "EXCOL"? Can't seem to find it in a printable format?

Further to my last message, where do I find a copy of the form required for transitting through Germany with firearms? Thanks.

It is all an online process in Canada

Transiting Frankfurt does not require a permit. (As of earlier this year. Check thread on that subject for details)

German firearms laws are a little complicated. Cities can implement their own rules. So it may depend where you are flying through.

I'm planning on flying into, and then out of, Frankfurt.

If you are not stopping over and are truly transmitting, you do not require a permit.
Look up thread on Frankfurt here on AH and it will have the most up to date information in it.

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
