If I decide to take three rifles to Namibia, two for me and one for LaRita, can all three 4577 forms be in my name? Will it be a problem importing three rifles into Namibia with all of them in my name? How about coming back into the states?

It will not be a problem

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

I would go ahead an get seperate ones for all your rifles for LaRita. Just in case she needs to come back separately. They don't cost anything and they're small...

I assume your talking about Form 4457 (not 4577)?

Regards,

Terry

Yes, you are right 4457. For some reason I never can remember that number.

Mark,

I have done exactly what you suggest on several trips to Zim and RSA. No problems.

The advice to get separate forms in case you travel separately is sound, but probably un-necessary. My wife is not very likely to make this type of trip unaccompanied, and if she did she wouldn't want to hassle with a firearm. I would have all the guns with me anyhow. Your wife may be different, but that is my expereince.

I phoned Customs at lunch and they said 3 rifles with three 4457s, in my name, wouldn't be a problem.

Mark;

If you are spending an over-night in South Africa, you will need to obtain a SA Gun permit (application SAPS 520). My husband and I both use our own .375's and South Africa will not allow 2 rifles of the same caliber in one name. Therefore, we each must obtain separate permits for South Africa. Part of that application process requires a US Customs 4457 form. Bottom line, if you are overnighting in SA and you have 2 rifles of the same caliber, I'd recommend separate 4457's.

Best regards, D. Nelson

I have a proposal for Saeed, of course if it has not already done, to create a folder with downlodable forms of documents (Es. Form 4457 that I've received by Wendell Reich, thank you again Wendell) to avoid the recursive searches of them.
Having the help of PHs and outfitters and hunters it is possible to maintain it updated without big difficulties and troubles.
It should be a good service for all of us.
