Thread: Importing a firearm part without an import permit

Some time ago I would fill out the import permits and tick the yes/detained by customs box even before I’d ordered the item, because it would make the permits sometimes appear faster. Then I started getting angry emails from the permit people telling me I was required to obtain a permit before the items were ordered. I asked then why was it an option on the form if they didn’t want people to use it? Of course I didn’t get an answer to my question.
