Purchasing rifle parts from Germany?

[Addax]

Hello,

Are there any current restrictions from me purchasing rifle parts like a handguard, internal parts or a magazine (10 round)?

I found a source for some unqiue HK parts in Germany and I wanted to know if there are any current Federal/Customs issues with them shipping the parts to me? Also any State restrictions (other than hi cap mags etc.).

hrm.. I know an FFL dealer who has ordered HK USPs direct from Germany. Not sure if that means anything.

A. If the value is greater than $100, you have to fill out ATF form 6 for importation into the US. I forget whether that's per item, or total of the order.

B. Any exportation from Germany to the US has to be done with an export permit (independent of the size of the order). Many gun dealers will process those for you, but they typically charge about 100 Euros as a fee for that.

Thank you Treelogger.

I understand that this is definetly required for importing firearms into the US, from Europe, but I did not think parts were required?

I have purchased parts on ebay before from sellers in the UK, Poland, Germany, that easily totalled over $100 like K43 magazines, or G/K43 Stocks, or Enfield parts and scopes.

All I did was pay the sellers via paypal upon winning the auciton and that was it. I received many of my parts within 5 days via USPS.

I can see paying a company who is selling the parts taxes/duties etc. in advance, but getting the ATF involved for purchasing spare parts (nothing evil of course)..

I typically export computers from the US to places around the world, and I was hoping purchasing parts from places like Germany would be as easy.
