No permits, FFL holders, back ground checks or markings required for pre-1898 guns. You still need to clear Customs though, which may or may not require a broker. I don't know if the USPS will do it but I have received guns put into the French postal service and received in Canada through Canada Post. No broker required. Payment of duties and taxes due when package was picked up. Last one was about 3 years ago. I've received about 6 guns that way. Don't know why it would be different unless the USPS won't accept it at point of origin.

Yes, USPS will do it. I received a pre-1898 I. Hollis from Australia via USPS. No hassles, no permits, no background checks.

I am not sure that is currently the case. Australia and NZ post will no longer move any type of firearm, even antique. I use to get bundles of guns shipped in from NZ that my Post man delivered, no more. It has gotten a lot more complicated to send guns, even antiques, across borders. I now need export permits for most antiques leaving the UK under EU rules, this just in the last year or so, never before.

Steve, if you think that is bad, in 2017 Australia I had to get an export permit to bring my own rifle - that I had built myself brought with me - back home. Seriously most of the Australians, in charge of enforcing the rules did not know them. Australia is pretty much off limits for getting guns out now. Like you, I had them delivered to my door years ago without the slightest problem.

How do "they" know it's a gun in the box, if the sender doesn't put any identifying info on the outside?

Stan,
You have to declare the contents in order to clear customs.....things are much stricter than they were in the past.
Brent,
I found an AU exporter not long ago and it is doable with some volume, maybe 4-6 guns or so. Shipping costs were not that bad, he would take care of the paperwork on his end, that just leaves import permits and a customs broker over here. The only way to import guns these days is in groups.

Steve That makes some sense. Australian auctions used to be a good place for a guy to find some bargains one at a time. But no more. But I thought it was more than slightly annoying that we had to beg permission to take our own rifles home (but not our dirty laundry, thankfully). No one really seemed to know how to go about that, yet Australia was hosting an international championship match.

Maybe I should start a new thread about international shipping.

...I don't like it when they are slow but they are the best at marking discreetly the required engraving of importer. For what it's worth, the Fox I just received has no import mark at all. That's plus to me...Geo George, Borderview did one that took the new owner six months to find. LOL I think we all think it's a bonus. OK, I'm gonna look again. Any hints about where they put the one you speak of?...Geo
