Export permits

[Skaaphaas]

Does anyone (dealers, etc) know what in the world is going on at CFR, when it comes to export permits?

Mine has been in apparent consideration since late 2022. I cannot fathom what factors warrant this amount of consideration.

It’s through a dealer that I know does a lot of imports so I figure they must have a decent relationship with their DFO / CFR, but it appears to not be the case.

CFR insisted on seeing my import permit as part of the export application. This has now expired. I have had it extended and sent to CFR again and I know I won’t get another extension, and in the meantime CFR is twiddling their thumbs.

It seems par for the course.
I remember a few dealers on here complaining about exactly what you are describing, but with imports.

I'm currently in the process of exporting two guns to swaziland, I'm told to expect a 3-6 month wait.

However nelspruit dealers managed to get it done for a friend of mine in 6 weeks.

Not entirely sure why an export permit takes so long. I can get an import permit here for a gun in a day.
