Anyone out there that has experience with this process and contact info for an experienced exporter/importer?
 
I had a rifle that I bought from Ralf Martini and I used my local Gunstore. I believe that if it’s just one or not very many , any FFL holder can import it. Ralf’s wife at the time walked the store owner through the paperwork and I received the rifle with no issues. Ask him or whoever the gun is coming from about doing it through a regular FFL.
 
I also used Borderview. The cost was $299 plus 5% of the rifle’s declared value plus $51.99 shipping to my FFL. To put that into perspective, my total bill to Borderview was $413.13 on a $1,242.76 rifle. Process took 3 1/2 months from their possession until delivery to my FFL.

Used I Run Guns back in 2018. Was $225 CAD plus the final shipping from their US store in AZ to my FFL.
 
America used to have a program called, "Fast and the Furious" for taking rifles from America across the border. Perhaps check out ATF for their program "Furious and the fast" for getting rifles into America.;)

I think that was strictly an export operation... :ROFLMAO:

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
