I have lots of experience importing guns and parts from Germany and Switzerland. The controlling authorities for the importation of complete firearms, firearm frames and receivers, firearm barrels, and ammunition, are 18 U.S.C., Chapter 44, the GCA, and the implementing regulations in 27 CFR, Part 478. Long story short, you cannot import a barrel for a modefn firearm without an import license. Note that there is a $5 fee and a mandatory U.S. Customs inspection applying to any import shipment with declared value over $100. In short, caveat emptor.
