I have found the laws on importation of Silencers for sale. As if your wanting to import them to sell to an FFL or end user.
What I have not found any laws or rules or regulations on is If your importing one for yourself and not for resale.
I recently took a trip to Norway, and will be returning again soon. Silencers are not regulated there. I can easily buy one. No license or registration needed.
The problem is bringing it back to the USA.
As a Form 1 is for making and a Form 4 is needed for transfer. But there isnt a transfer, nor is it needed to be manufactured as its allready done.
The one i want to buy is technically considered used. Although it is brand new and was only used once by the previous owner before he died. It was actually imported from the USA to Norway and sold as new. So technically soeaking I would be bringing it back home to the USA.
The price is to good not to make it worth looking into. I have no problem paying the $200 tax stamp like i have done for my other NFA items.
BTW I do have a C&R FFL although the silencer does not qualify as a C&R item.
