Purchasing Guns From Us...
We can ship your gun(s) to you or you may wish to
come personally to the UK to collect them and spend a few
days enjoying the English countryside and possibly do some
upland hunting or driven pheasant or partridge hunting
with us.
If You Wish To Come...
You will need to have a "Visitors Shotgun Permit"
issued by the Derbyshire Constabulary ( we will obtain this for you
at no charge), or European
Pass, in order to take delivery / use your guns in the UK.
When you are leaving the UK, the Customs Officer will need
to see one of these items prior to the gun being checked
on board with your other personal baggage. This is a very
quick procedure and usually takes only a few minutes at
the time of checking in for your trip home. Please note
that when you arrive in your home country, you must
declare the guns as having been acquired in the UK and
meet your usual duty and local licensing regulations ( see
below)
Shipping Guns To You..
It is not necessary for you to come to the UK and we
are pleased to ship your guns. The documentation that
must be secured in advance of us shipping the guns to you
will depend on your home country, and here is what you are
faced with.
For Our UK Customers..
Please note that U.K. residents, require only a valid
shotgun certificate to acquire guns from us.
For Our US Customers..
You will need to obtain an Import license from
the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Fire-arms (BATF). by completing
the appropriate form (Form
6) that may be found on their website.
It usually takes a few weeks to obtain their approval.
Once we have a copy of the BATF approved Form 6, and a copy of the
FFL from your local friendly firearms dealer, we will
obtain a UK export license and ship
the gun insured and properly packed by air freight to him.
Please note that the name of the dealer who will receive
the firearm, must be on the approved Form 6.
You can expect to pay about 4% duty on the Invoiced
price as well as approximately $ 25 -40 to your local FFL
dealer for receiving the gun on your behalf.
For Our EU Customers..
In all EU countries, the prior import consent is
required from relevant government or police department
handling shotguns usually without fees. They will
issue you with an letter of authorization or an
International Import Certificate authorizing you to import
the gun. Once we have received this we will obtain an
export license and the gun will be shipped and should be
in your possession in one to two weeks.
For Our Canadian Customers..
We have exported several
guns to Cary Stricker who is a licensed Fire-arms dealer
in Canada. Please contact Cary to discuss his fees, at
M&S
if you would like him to do the importation for you, or
alternatively you maybe able to do the paperwork
yourself.
You will need to have a valid FAC or PAL Canadian firearms
license and obtain ( usually takes one to two weeks)
an International Import Certificate (IIC) From the Export and Import Controls
Bureau (Tel: 613 996-0257) of the Department of Foreign
Affairs and International Trade, 125 Sussex Drive in
Ottawa, Ontario. A simple one page form is all that is required and
there is no charge for this International Import Certificate.
Once you have received the IIC, which will
have our name on it, as well as the name of the gun and
its serial number that you are acquiring from us, then
send the original of this IIC
to us and we will obtain a UK export license
and air cargo the gun to you. It
will arrive at customs in your city and you will need to
go and pick it up by showing your valid FAC or PAL license
and paying the PST and the GST ( totaling 15%) of the
Invoiced price.
