SCI Celebrates An Early Victory In the Fight Against Firearms Export Registration Requirements<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The efforts of SCI, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the National Rifle Association and others met with success on April 23, 2015 when Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reversed their decision to implement changes to the procedural requirements for hunters and recreational shooters wishing to travel abroad with their firearms.\u00a0 At a budget hearing held before the House Committee on Appropriations, R. Gil Kerlikowske, Commissioner of CBP, announced that the agency would temporarily return to the paper process used for years by international hunters and recreational shooters.\u00a0 In response to questions posed by members of the Committee, Mr. Kerlikowske explained that CBP would temporarily withdraw its requirement that hunters and shooters, who wish to take their firearms out of the country, register their firearms in the Automated Export System (AES).\u00a0 Mr. Kerlikowske informed the Appropriations Committee that CBP would be modifying its website later in the day to reflect this change in position.\u00a0 Please refer to this link<\/a> for additional information about the hearing.<\/p>\n

SCI will continue to pursue a long-term solution to this issue.\u00a0 Today\u2019s decision provides only a temporary fix to a broader concern.\u00a0 The recently proposed (and just aborted) changes to the exportation of firearms comply with regulations, adopted in 2012, that require electronic registration.\u00a0 SCI is working with NSSF, NRA and others to propose revisions to these problematic rules.<\/p>\n

Please continue to follow SCI communications for further developments on this issue.<\/p><\/div>\n
