Frequently asked questions
Can you import an inherited or estate firearm from South Africa?
Yes, absolutely. Inherited and deceased-estate firearms, along with emigrant collections are a common reason people come to us for South African imports.
What do I need to provide?
At minimum, the appropriate state licence and the ability to obtain a valid Permit to Acquire.
Can I buy the firearm myself and have you import it?
You can, and we’ll organise the import. Export rules can be strict and some sellers won’t deal with international buyers, so it’s usually smoother if we handle the whole transaction.
How do I get started?
Send us the firearm, part or listing link. We’ll confirm you’re entitled to it, quote the full landed cost, and take it from there.
Ready to import from South Africa?
Tell us what you’re after. A model, a part, or a listing link, and we’ll take it from there.
