I need to find a customs office so that I can get my valuables registered for my up coming trip to RSA. Do any of you guys know where I can find such a place in the Baltimore metro area? I'm really not sure where to start looking. I've poked around on the net some but I'm not sure I'm looking for the right thing. I believe there is one down town but I really don't want to be trapesing around the city with an arm load of guns and hunting stuff.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey I live in baltimore and you need to go down to the airport . It's the fastest way. Go to customs and regester them there .

you want to walk into an airport with an arm load of rifles????
Look in the yellow pages of the phone book, many larger post offices NEAR airports are customs offices as well. ( you want to walk into a post office with an arm full of rifles ??????

YEP HAD NO PROBLEM GETTING MY THINGS DECLAIRED , INFACT THE OFFICIERS LIKED MY GUNS.
THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A BLASER R93 BEFORE.

BY THE WAY KATHI IS A GOOD EGG WE USED HER WHEN WE WENT TO AFRICA LAST YEAR AT INGOGO SAFARIS.

It is probably a good idea to call ahead to check proceedures.

They have changed here somewhat, requiring a cell phone call from the parking lot so they can come outside to escort you into their office.

Still the airport is the best bet.

gO TO THEFreightcargo building across from park and go at BWI. go to the customs office and fill out your fourms. Have done this about 10x.... most of the time it has taken 5 min with courtous help.some times 1hr.Good luck.do this a coulple of days before you go.... the fourms are good forever-keep them so you dont have to do this again....

Thanks for all the replies guys and gals! I'm a little leary of takeing rifles into places anymore... The only place I could find when I looked was the Gay Street headquarters... that is a no go for me. that is down town B-more!

I think I found a place and it may be the same one that Bwana1 mentioned. Less than two months till "d-day"!

Thanks again!
