Can I take 3 guns?

[wysongdog]

My son, brother and I are headed to SA the end of May. Can I take 3 guns? All the guns are mine and was going to do my paperwork as such. Sorry if this has been asked before.

It's been a few years since I have, but I've done it. I believe it was 2013 when I did and I don't think anything has changed. I would ask @riflepermits.com to confirm.

Great idea. I hadn’t thought it that far thry lol. They are going to do my permits as it is

YES. Do not duplicate calibers.

It would be better if you had different rifles in different names on the paperwork. Although it is unlikely to come up, if you separate during the hunt and all permits are in your name they have no legal right to possess a gun.

Another consideration, not sure if this would be a problem or not.
Ammo - you are limited to 11 pounds of ammo. If the guns are all in your name, you may find this a challenge ??? Might be better to have one of the guns in another person’s name and have them bringing the ammo for that gun.
Regarding CBP Form 4457, your brother or son (maybe depending on his age) can get a 4457 in their name for your gun, no issue.
My recollection on some of this is a bit fuzzy, but probably worth thinking about and getting the details from Henry with @riflepermits.com . I have used his services before and been quite satisfied.
Happy hunting!

The wife and I took 2 rifles last trip to SA, both chambered in .308 Win. I asked @riflepermits.com about this before we left, and they had us simply fill out a separate form. No issue whatsoever.

Separate importation (two people) is fine. One person importing is the issue.

They were both in my name, no issue after completing the form Henry sent.
