dear sir/madam:



I am a Canadian citizen writing from Canada



I have listed a 8 round Model 1900 Luger magazine for sale on eBay. There are no problems exporting from Canada because it is not a high capacity magazine. however, when i telephoned US Customs they advised me to check with ATF and the State Department. I looked at your FAQ2, item A6, and it seems to indicate that magazines with fewer than 11 rds are not subject to the GCA.



1. Can i export my Luger magazine to the US through the post office without special permits or other conditions?

2. Should i contact the State Department? if so, do you have an email address or telephone number?



The ebay auction closes on November 22nd. The item # is 735404890.



thank you

REGARDING: Exportation of an 8 round magazine from Canada to the United States.





The magazine that you stated you had for sale ( 8 round Luger magazine) is not a large capacity magazine. However, it is considered a firearm part. Therefore an ATF Form 6 - Part 1 (Application and Permit for Importation of Firearms, Ammunition and Implements of War) must be completed by the purchaser of the magazine. If the application is approved then the purchaser will use the approved ATF Form 6 - Part 1 to have the magazine released from Customs. Since the importation of firearms, firearms parts, ammunition and Implements of War is handled by ATF there is no need to contact the State Department. You may use any method that you like to mail the firearm magazine.
