International Orders
Due to ever increasing restrictions and procedures for exporting being place upon us by the US Department of State and the United Nations, we are forced to change our export policy as listed below. We highly encourage you to contact us before submitting the documentation to ensure that you have a full understanding of the progress and cost.
Law Enforcement or Military: The minimum requirement for exporting will be $10,000 USD. Law enforcement agencies and military entities are encouraged to place orders for the quantities they would expect to required over the lifespan of their respective import permit, even if they only take actual delivery of a portion of the quantities specified in the documentation. In other words, the export processing fee will be same whether you order $10,000 USD or $100,000 USD of merchandise.
Requirements for Export orders
Firearms and Components: All firearms, major part components (barrels, bolts, frames, lower receivers and cylinders) and any combination of minor components exceeding $100 USD require an export license issued by the US State Department. The export license is for the specific items and value listed on your purchase order and is valid until the export permit and/or import certificate expires. No changes can be made to your purchase order once the export license has been applied for.
Because you are acquiring military grade weapons and military designated weapon accessories, you will need to provide us with your entity’s official “Purchase Order” as well as the bona fide end-user certificates
Requirements and Process:
- Submit a signed in ink purchase order on your agency’s letterhead issued from the office of the highest ranking officer/director/minister/commissioner of your agency along with an original or certified copy of the country-issued import permit/certificate, and a signed DPS-83 form. It is important that your purchase order be precise as to what you are ordering. No accessory items can be included with a rifle or upper assembly. A rifle or upper assembly must be specified as one item. Any accessories would be a separate sale item and must be listed separately.
- If your government does not regulate importation of firearms and firearms parts, provide a letter on your personal or company letterhead indicating your country does not regulate firearms and firearm parts. .
- Mail these documents to:
Applied Tactical Technologies, Inc.
ATTN: Export Department
P.O. Box 268
Babylon, NY 11702-0268
- Upon receipt of these documents, we will apply for the export license which can take up to 60-90 days to process through the US State Department.
Optics: The US Department of Commence requires an export license to a number of countries for the export of non-military optics. Military specific optics such as the Trijicon TA01NSN or TA31F, certain night vision devices and thermal imaging devices as well as Infrared laser target designators can only be exported directly to the purchasing law enforcement agency or military.
Restrictions placed on exports of military equipment
- Automatic weapons, 1st & 2nd grade NVD imaging tubes, thermal imaging devices, infrared laser target designator, NIJ Level IV protective apparel, computer cipher or target tracking software, etc.
Conditions, Fees and Payment
- Due to the extensive paper work and man-hours required to process export orders, we require a processing fee as listed below prior to proceeding with the application process. This fee is non-refundable in the event the export license is not granted.
One time orders for:
Components - $300 USD
Complete rifles or major sub components (uppers or lowers) - $400.00 USD
- Entities placing blanket orders in excess of $15,000 USD will be exempt.
- Wire-transfer payments are required on all export orders. The wire-transfer bank fee is included in the processing fee. Please contact us for our banking information.
- A 100% deposit is required on orders for automatic rifles and the balance for shipping, insurance and container charges will become due and charged when the order is ready to ship.
- Shipping and transportation insurance are not included in the export fees. Shipments will be made through the air freight carrier of your country since UPS, Federal Express and DHL do not accept shipments of firearms or components.
In considering whether or not a shipment to your country will require an export license, we need to consider both WHAT is being shipped and WHERE it is going.
The lists on this page deal with WHAT is being shipped. (See the lists of export-controlled or embargoed countries for guidance about WHERE shipments may be sent.)
Technologies subject to Export Control Laws are categorized on the following two lists:
- Munitions List
published by the US State Department in its
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
focused on potential military applications or technologies that are military in nature - Commerce Controlled List
published by the US Commerce Department in its
Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
focused on "dual use" technologies having both legitimate commercial purposes and potential military applications
In addition, under the provisions of the international Chemical Weapons Convention, the United States may require special declarations related to chemical shipments under either the ITAR or the EAR.
