Application/Permit to Import Firearms, Ammunition, and Defense Articles

Action
Revising a previously approved collection
Purpose

The Gun Control Act and other statutes prohibit persons from importing firearms, ammunition, and defense articles into the US unless the articles meet certain criteria, the importer is not a prohibited person, and the Attorney General (delegated to Director, ATF) approves that person to import those items. ATF uses this form to collect the information necessary to determine the above facts and approve a person to import the articles; the form then serves as their permit to do so.
