In previous blog posts, we’ve covered what it’s like to travel domestically with a suppressor and internationally with guns and ammo, but we haven’t covered international travel with a suppressor. That changes now. It’s time to go global!

Like any kind of travel you do with guns, ammo, or suppressors, it’s a good idea to start researching and planning well in advance. This will allow you the time you may need to insure that you’re in compliance with local in-country laws as well as any travel-specific considerations.

CAN YOU TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY WITH A SUPPRESSOR?​

Global politics are an ever-changing thing, and that means that there often isn’t a black-and-white answer that can provide you with a definitive list of what countries you can and cannot travel to with a suppressor. In some cases, the list would be out of date almost immediately. In others, the caveats to approval prohibit making a definitive statement.

Why is it that the CBP people are all over the place on this? I go one day and they will file and sign a 4457 no problem. Then today they tell me I have to get something from the commerce department.
 
Like with anything, if you happen to get an agent that isn't familiar with the rules it can be very frustrating! You may try to go back (I know - frustrating!) and speak to someone else.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
