Open Letter to All Federal Firearms Licensees: Allowable Activities for Firearms Brought Into Customs Bonded Warehouses and Foreign Trade Zones
ATF recently published an open letter to all FFLs [ [link removed] ]. The purpose is to remind affected persons of the Gun Control Act (GCA), National Firearms Act (NFA), Arms Export Control Act, and associated federal regulations as they apply to firearms brought into customs bonded warehouses and foreign trade zones. The letter also clarifies and outlines allowable activities involving firearms in these locations; in the past, certain activities occurring within customs bonded warehouses and foreign trade zones resulted in persons remanufacturing or manipulating firearms, firearm receivers, and barrels into sporting configurations that would otherwise be importable under the GCA and NFA.

Meet a Few of ATF?s Newest K-9s
Canines Calvin, Zeus, and Nellie
Several K-9s have recently joined the ranks of ATF. Pictured above are Calvin [ [link removed] ], Zeus [ [link removed] ] and Nellie [ [link removed] ], all of which are Search Enhanced Evidence K9s [ [link removed] ].
These K-9s have mastered unique off-leash techniques as well as traditional on-leash skills, which enable their handlers to maintain control while the K-9s search for target odors using their natural hunt drive. They can work off-leash in difficult environments such as wooded or overgrown areas, where a leash may easily tangle.
See all of ATF?s K-9s on the canine gallery [ [link removed] ] page.
