of	the	Gun	Control	Act	of	1968,	Title	VII	of	the	Omnibus	Crime	Control
and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (82 Stat. 236; 18 U.S.C.
Appendix), or of any State law or local ordinance at the place of the

additional	information	to	determine	the	import	status	of	the	firearm,
ammunition or defense articles.
15. The permit is valid for 12 months from the date of approval. The approved
application will serve as the permit to import the article(s) described on the
form.

16. After approval, the Director will retain two copies and forward the original to
the member or his designated agent, along with copies of ATF Form 6A,
Release	and	Receipt	of	Imported	Firearms,	Ammunition	and	Defense	Articles.
17.	 No	photographic	or	other	copy	may	be	used,	unless	certified	by	the	Director,
to	effect	release	of	the	firearms,	ammunition	or	defense	articles	from	CBP.
No amendments or alterations may be made to an approved permit, except by
the Director.
Release from CBP
18.	 The	ATF	Form	6A,	with	Section	I	completed,	the	approved	permit,	and	any
other	necessary	documents,	must	be	presented	to	the	CBP	officials	handling
the	importation	to	effect	release	of	the	firearms,	ammunition	or	defense	articles.

imported	for	use	in	a	specific	event	or	action	(for example, any
lawful sporting purpose, official law enforcement, or repair).

conditions, this tax may apply to their use or sale. Contact the Alcohol and
Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), National Revenue Center, 550 Main
