As an “Occasional Importer” include following information on Form 6 : “Application to Import” Maker, serial number, gauge, length of barrels and total length of the gun.
Any FFL holder near you may fill out the form. He need not hold an importers licence. YOU are the importer and by law may do so as an “occasional importer” U.S. law requires this be for personal sporting use, indicate this on your application in the appropriate space. All else is self explanatory.

Keep the original approved form. Make photocopies to mail or Fax to Mick Shepherd. We suggest you have the guns returned by international mail from England to you. This way they enter the U.S. Postal system, go to a customs facility where they are cleared and then directly to your FFL by mail. Duty, if any, may be paid to the postmaster or mailman. Avoid Air Freight.
Your approved Form 6 copies will be inside the package and in an envelope marked ATTN: U.S. CUSTOMS.
Antique Guns ( made before 1898 ) may be mailed directly to you, no permit required.
