    Default Bringing Accessories with me from USA (magazines, holsters)

    Hi All,

    Hope this is the right section.

    I'm possibly going to the US on business and was wondering if I'll have any problems bringing back a few (maybe 5) glock magazines with basepads as well as a magwell, holster and mag pouches? Maybe even an RMR if I'm feeling rich .

    Does anyone have any experience bringing back such items from the US and if there are any issues / restrictions I will run into?

    I did some searching but could not find anything to that effect.

    Holsters and mag pouches. I have brought them along before and even had my bags opened and inspected. No issues.

    Magazines, RMR, magwell etc. A BIG no-no


    To be honest, the holsters and mag pouches were only because I found a custom guy doing funky designs which I couldn't get here a few years back.

    These days, I just support local.

    I figured as much. What trouble would I run into with these sorts of items? Any way around it (getting a special permit or something) that's not prohibitively expensive?

    Google ITAR violation penalties.

    Permits are a couple of hundred dollars. No idea on process

    What's the restriction on rifle stocks and scopes? I can't find anything anywhere... :(

    "rifle parts" AFAIK ... even slings and covers for optics will fall under that

    That's stupid. But not our fault, I guess. Bummer :(

    Not all of it. And not without some unreasonable markups.
