Good day members I need advice please. I will be purchasing a set of double rifle barrels and a reamer , .450 no 2 NE caliber next year. My brother in law is visiting as well and I want him to bring these items with to South Africa. Can he bring it as additional luggage? Will it be a problem at customs? What is the correct procedures? I really would appreciate your advice. Regards Gert | ||

Where is your brother flying from? I wouldn't think a reamer would an issue. It's just a piece of tooling. The barrels on the other hand may present a problem. Some countries regulate the exportation of firearms parts. George  | |||

It will not matter what the laws state--it will depend on the attitude of the official who examines your baggage. I absolutely would not do this.

I believe that South Africa considers barrels as the registered part of the firearm. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

Thank you for the replies. I am currently doing some research regarding this issue. I am in contact with USA customs to hear what items are falling under the ERA regulations, I am sure I will get an answer in this regards...I will keep you up to date... | |||

You can't export barrels from the US without a permit. Into SA, I do not know. | |||

Thank you for the replies. I manage to get all the required documentation/procedures to bring the rifle barrels from USA to South Africa. All procedures are according to USA export laws and South African import/custom laws /SAP procedures. When I receive the barrels and reamers I will give some feedback.It seems a not too difficult process you just need to do some research. | |||
