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 In some cases, the list would be out of date almost immediately.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.
