All the 4457 forms are out of date. Went on line - expires 8/31/2019. Went to customs at BDL airport and their forms "Expire 2016"!!! Safari is in September.S ????
 
Suggestions???
 
Just use them, everyone does and they seem to work.
 
White out the date, make several copies, take to customs office, fill out your information, have CBP fill out their part and date stamp the form.
 
Dear Sir, the SA Police are currently accepting the form as long as it is dated and signed in 2019 by US customs.

Regards
Henry
 
Another solution but not as simple as the whiteout solution:
Download the PDF Form from the US Customs website, convert to "Word", delete the expiration date and any other date on the form (there are 2) , fill in your name, address and items. Bring to US Customs office and they will look at your items and sign and stamp the form. No expiration date, no 3 hour BS problem like in previous years.

Hey Ed Lally,
Can't help it, I'm old school, new tech would be easier.(n)(y)

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
