Not long ago some "experts" on Spanish shotguns vilified a poster who dared suggest that proof was mandatory in CIP nations and who produced official evidence to back up the claim. The vehemence of the flaming (one sided) was surprising.

Proof status is still mandatory, in CIP member states, it cannot be legally evaded by the exporting side. The question is if it creates any legal claim for the final buyer in the USA and other non CIP country in case he is sold an out of proof shotgun that "somehow" slips through the regulatory net.
