On-Demand Webinar:
A Primer on Navigating ATF Import Controls
No doubt you have heard of the State Department controls over exports of defense articles, but do you know that certain items are controlled as defense articles for permanent import into the United States? The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regulates permanent imports of defense articles, but their rules are very different from State Department’s International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Indeed, what is controlled for export may not be controlled for permanent import, and there are plenty of items controlled as “defense articles” for permanent import even though they are not considered defense articles for export. Confusing? You’re not alone. Due to increasing demand, ECTI is excited to offer a 90-minute webinar on ATF import controls, taught by attorney Johanna Reeves. We will explore ATF’s controls over imports of defense articles and look at the added controls that attach to certain firearms and destructive devices.
Topics include:
- Scope of ATF controls and statutory authority
- Imports of Defense Articles
- What constitutes a “defense article”
- Registration requirements
- Import permit application process
- Import permit exemptions
- Country policies
- What happens when a temporary import turns into a permanent import?
