Sorry guys, i have no idea where to post this question so please move it if required.
Long story short, but i have bulged/cracked the barrel of my IPSC gun. I can't get a replacement schuemann barrel locally, so i have no choice but to try and get it from the USA. The slide has been machined to accept the barrel with integrated exhaust ports for the compensator, so i can't really use a different one.
I have a friend that is attending an ICORE comp later this month in the USA, he is happy to bring it back with him, with some other goodies, magazines, sights etc. All the local paper work is in order for importation, but i have read things that you need export licenses for it to leave the country, possibly the magazines and sights too.
The manufacturer will not ship to non US addresses, which is fine, it can be picked up but we need permission for it to go over the pond.
Does anyone know what is involved? He already has a temporary import/export permit for his revolver and ammo from the ATF. I'd like to think it can't be too hard, but government departments......
I have emailed the state department for guidance of what to do next, hopefully they will help me too.
