Revised August 2011
Instruction Sheet for ATF Form 6 Part I (5330.3A)

(Submit in triplicate) (Detach this instruction sheet before submitting your application)

Paperwork Reduction Act Notice

This request is in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The

purpose of this information collection is to allow ATF to determine if the article(s)

described on the application qualifies for importation by the importer, and to serve

as the authorization for the importer. This information is mandatory (18 U.S.C.

925(d), 26 U.S.C. 5844, 22 U.S.C. 2778).

The estimated average burden associated with this collection of information is 30

minutes per respondent or recordkeeper, depending on individual circumstances.

Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate and suggestions for

reducing this burden should be addressed to Reports Management Officer,

Document Services, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,

Washington, DC 20226.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to,

a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control

number. Confidentiality is not assured.

General Information

1. An approved ATF Form 6 - Part I (5330.3A) is required to import firearms,

ammunition, and implements of war into the United States or any possession

thereof, except for certain exempt importations prescribed in 27 CFR Parts

447, 478 and 479. A military member of the U.S.Armed Forces who is on

active duty outside the U.S., or who has been on active duty outside the U.S.

during the 60-day period immediately preceding the intended importation,

should complete ATF Form 6 - Part II (5330.3B) to import sporting type

firearms or ammunition for his personal use.

2. Any person engaged in the business of importing firearms or ammunition for

resale must be licensed as an importer under the Gun Control Act of 1968

and, if he is importing firearms, ammunition, firearms parts or implements of

war (other than sporting shotguns, shotgun shells, or shotgun parts) he must

also be registered as an importer under the Arms Export Control Act of 1976.

No permit to import such articles for resale will be issued until the importer is

properly licensed and registered.

3. A Federal firearms licensee, other than an importer, may make an occasional

importation of sporting firearms or ammunition (excluding surplus military)

for himself or an unlicensed person in the licensee's State, provided that the

firearms and ammunition are intended for personal use of the person for

whom imported and not for resale. ATF Form 6 - Part I (5330.3A) is used to

obtain approval for such importation.

4. A permit is not required for a firearm or ammunition brought into the United

States or any possession thereof by any person who can establish to the

satisfaction of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that such firearm or

ammunition was previously taken out of the United States or any possession

thereof by such person.

5. A permit is not required for the return of a repaired firearm, or replacement

firearm of the same kind and type, to the person in the United States who sent

the defective firearm out of the United States for repair.

6. If you are a nonimmigrant alien do not complete this form. A nonimmigrant

alien entering the U.S. temporarily needs to submit an ATF Form 6NIA

(5330.3D) (Application and Permit for Temporary Importation of Firearms

and Ammunition by Nonimmigrant Aliens) to temporarily import his

personally owned firearms.

7. An unlicensed person may obtain a permit to import sporting type

ammunition (excluding tracer or incendiary) and firearm parts (other than

frames, receivers, or actions) without engaging the services of a Federal

firearms licensee, provided that the importation is for his personal use and not

for resale.

8. A nonresident U.S. citizen returning to the United States or a nonresident

alien immigrating to the United States, from a permanent residence outside of

the United States, may complete and forward the enclosed ATF Form 6 Part I

permit application without having to utilize the services of a federally

licensed firearms dealer. The nonresident should include a statement, either

on the application form or on an attached sheet, that the firearms are being

imported for his personal use and not for resale and that he is a nonresident

U.S. citizen returning to the United States, or is a nonresident alien

(INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED ON REVERSE)

ATF Form 6 - Part I (5330.3A)

Revised August 2011

immigrating to the United States. The firearms must accompany the

nonresident U.S. citizen on entry into the United States, since once he is in

the United States, and has acquired residence in a State, he may not directly

import a firearm. He must engage the services of a federally licensed firearms

dealer in his State of residence to import the sporting firearms (excluding NFA

and surplus military) for him. A nonresident alien must bring in their

firearms within 90 days of arrival in the United States, which is when they

obtain State residency. If the firearms are to be imported after 90 days of

arrival, he must engage the services of a federally licensed firearms dealer in

his State of residence to import the sporting firearms (excluding NFA and

surplus military) for him.

9. Under Arms Export Control Act of 1976 regulations in 27 CFR 447.41(c), a

permit is not required for the importation of:

a. U.S. Munitions Import List articles from Canada not subject to 27 CFR

Part 478 and 479, except articles enumerated in Categories I, II, III, IV,

VI(e), VIII(a), XVI, and XX; and nuclear weapons, strategic delivery

systems, and all specifically designed components, parts, accessories,

attachments, and associated equipment thereof.

b. Minor components and parts of Category I(a) firearms, except barrels,

cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete breech mechanisms, when the

total value does not exceed $100 wholesale in any single transaction.

Preparation

10. The applicant shall prepare this form in triplicate. Required signatures must

be in ink on all copies. Other entries must be in ink or be typewritten.

11. The application should be submitted approximately 60 days prior to the

intended importation. All copies shall be submitted to:

Director

Attention: Firearms and Explosives Imports Branch

12. Any questions concerning the application should be referred to the Imports

Branch at the above address or telephone (304) 616-4550.

13. If a licensee is applying to import an article for subsequent transfer to a

known final recipient (e.g., an individual, commercial entity, or government

agency), the licensee must complete items 1 through 16, andidentify the final

recipient by name and address in item 10.

14. Item 9, Certification of Origin: The purpose of this certification is to

determine whether items sought for importation require retransfer

authorization from the Department of State. Applicants should check block

9a if the articles sought for importation were produced for the civilian market

and were not associated with the U.S. military. Applicants should check block

9b if the articles sought for importation contain parts or components produced

by or for the U.S. military or manufactured with U.S. military technical data

or assistance, and the articles were provided by the U.S. government to a

foreign government through a grant or foreign military sales program.

Applicants should check block 9c if the articles sought for importation

contain parts or components produced by or for the U.S. military or

manufactured with U.S. military technical data or assistance, and the articles

were sold abroad pursuant to an export license issued by the Department of

State authorizing a Direct Commercial Sale (DCS). NOTE: If block 9b is

checked, a written retransfer authorization from the Department of State must

be attached to the application or the applications will be denied. NOTE: If

block 9c is checked, either a copy of the export license authorizing the DCS

or a written retransfer authorization from the Department of State must be

attached to the application or the application will be denied.
