Freight & Customs

SHIPPING TO THE U.S.

Thank you for considering US Firearms Import for your firearms shipping needs. We want to make sure you are aware of all the details regarding shipping costs, customs clearance fees, duties and taxes, and domestic U.S. shipping. Please note that shipping costs may vary depending on the country of importation.

To ensure safe and secure transport of your firearms, firearm parts, and ammunition, we use a Freight Forwarder partner who specializes in the transport of ITAR items. Our Freight Forwarder has agents in most foreign countries, and we encourage you to use our CONTACT US form to verify their presence in a foreign country or to get a shipping quote. To obtain a shipping quote, please include the approximate box dimensions and the foreign address for a package pick-up.

CUSTOMS CLEARANCE FEES

Once your firearms arrive in the U.S., our licensed broker will clear the shipment from customs. The approximate customs clearance fee is  ~$550 / shipment.

DUTIES/ TAXES

The customer is responsible for applicable Duties & Taxes, which will be billed upon the successful arrival of their import at our receiving department. 

Depending on the type of imported firearms, the Duties & Taxes are as follows:

  • Handguns – 3% of the total value of the firearm
  • Rifles – 3.1% of the total value of the firearm
  • Shotguns – 2.6% of the total value of the firearm

ENGRAVING

Title 27 CFR 478.92 requires that every imported modern firearm (those manufactured after 1898) be engraved with the importer’s name, city, and state. If the firearm is missing engravings such as manufacturer name and country where manufactured, caliber, model, and serial number, we are required to place those markings on the firearm. This will be done as discreetly and professionally as possible.

Engraving is $35/gun.

DOMESTIC U.S. SHIPPING 

Shipping to your local FFL (gun shop in your state) varies. Prices are typically ~$45/handgun and $35/long gun.

If you’re an FL resident and wish to collect your firearms locally, a $30 transfer fee will apply to conduct the necessary background check.
