Importation of handgun into SA
Hi there,
Can anybody tell me if it's legally possible for a private person to import a handgun into SA and if so what is the steps to follow to have it licensed on your name?

Re: Importation of handgun into SA
I don't really know, so I might be speaking out of turn (probably), but I think you will probably be better off working through an importer/broker.
If "normal" licensing is so restrictive, I don't even want to imagine how something like this will go down.
Perhaps some of our "Legal Eagles" can shed some light...

Re: Importation of handgun into SA
Hi Pierre,
Yes it is possible and have three friends who have done so succesfully.
First step is to determine if the overseas seller is willing to go through the paperwork to export.
If willing then contact your DFO and complete the SAPS documents.
When the firearm arrives there is taxes and many other things to pay but if you are a sports shooter the taxes are reduced.
You then get a permit to store the firearm and apply for the licience which is no problem if you are a dedicated sportsman.
Just remember all documentation is to be sent by post as they require the originals.
