EXPORT POLICY AND CALIFORNIA RESTRICTIONS
Export of some of our optics products is regulated by the US Departments of Commerce and State. Individual product pages contain information on whether an item is exportable or not. Since laws and regulations change frequently, do not interpret any information on our product pages as legal advice. If you purchase any product from us and intend on taking it outside the United States, please consult your Local US Customs Office for additional information and guidance.
EACH PRODUCT THAT WE BELIEVE IS IMPACTED BY THE ITAR REGULATIONS WILL HAVE THIS NOTIFICATION SYMBOL IN THE DESCRIPTION ON THE PRODUCT PAGE.
BY PLACING AN ORDER FROM SCOPEITOUTDOORS.COM, THE CUSTOMER CERTIFIES THAT THEY WILL COMPLY WITH EVERY EXISTING LAW, REGULATION AND POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The State of California prohibits the sale and purchase of what they term “sniper scopes”- Scopes with Active Night vision. Scope It Outdoors in good faith complies with this law by placing bold warnings on the product pages for any optic that we believe is affected. We will NOT ship these items to any address in California. If one is inadvertently paid for, we will refund the purchase within 10 business days.
Here is an excerpt from California Penal Code 468:
“Any person who knowingly buys, sells, receives, disposes of, conceals, or has in his possession a sniperscope shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
This section shall not prohibit the authorized use or possession of such sniperscope by a member of the armed forces of the United States or by police officers, peace officers, or law enforcement officers authorized by the properly constituted authorities for the enforcement of law or ordinances; nor shall this section prohibit the use or possession of such sniperscope when used solely for scientific research or educational purposes.”
U.S.A. Export Control Regulation: The U.S. Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control each administer export control regulations that affect some aspects of our business.
We request that you (the “Customer”) read and familiarize yourself with the following regarding certain applicable export regulations.
The sale, transfer, transportation, or shipment outside of the U.S. of any product prohibited or restricted for export without complying with U.S. export control laws and regulations, including proper export licensing, documentation or authorization, is strictly prohibited and may result in civil penalties and/or constitute a federal crime. Scope It Outdoors will not engage in any transaction that requires the illegal export of any products and will not assist directly or indirectly with the illegal export or re-export of any products. An accurate Automated Export System (AES) filing must be made, whether or not the exportation requires a license.
If you wish to purchase one of the restricted items for ultimate shipment or use outside of the United States, please contact us first. Depending on the value of the order, specific item(s), end user, country of ultimate destination and end use, Scope It Outdoors could be required to apply for an export license with the appropriate U.S. government agency. It is highly unlikely that Scope It Outdoors would apply for said license. To the best of our ability, Scope It Outdoors has placed large warning notices on each of these product pages.
