Dear Yes

You have now entered the burocratic twighlight zone. The form asks you to get permission to bring the fire-arm into each contry but no guidance as to where to send the form. Also in one trip from France to Germany you travel across three borders so would have to send it to three contries one at a time before you went.

In reality you should declare you fire-arms at the border if there is a manned border post and check that the firearm is legal for purpose in that contry from their consulate. IE military calibres France, Handguns UK.
To make my life simpler I only take my 375 or 7x64 as no-one will object.
Any further questuions give me a PM

Regards

mark


Hunting is getting as close as you can, shooting is getting as far away as possible.

FYI, how I do it, and I'm living in Germany. All weapons first registered with Germans on WBK (Waffenbesitzkarte), then I have those I intend on taking out of country on a Euro WBK. And then I go -- not sure if this is the right way now though, but if stopped at border you have the documents showing weapons registered with EU. Now, if you go to non-EU countries, that I don't know about, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

well,
I do +/- as Dom.\
I've declared 6 of my rifles on the passport, when , for example I have to go to Hungary, I travel thru the "once upon a time there were a border with Austria" without problems. In the future I'll do the same with hungary. If I'll go hunting in Sweden I'll go there by car or by plane without problem.
It is a real advantage this document for Italians, we have not to ask the export permission as we have to do before Shengen, but as we still have to do to go out of EU.

I have travelled with my rifles to South Africa and back to France. The real advantage, in my view, of having the passport is when you come back home. I show the firearms passport and no questions about, "are you importing this rifle?" , "have you paid customs duty?", etc. It is proof of ownership that all of the European customs agents recognize.
