From the US Customs web site.

You do not need an ATF permit if you can demonstrate

that you are returning with the same firearms or

ammunition that you took out of the United States. To

prevent problems when returning, you should register

your firearms and related equipment by taking them to

any Customs Border Patrol office before you leave the United States. The

CBP officer will register them on the same CBP Form-

4457 used to register cameras or computers. (See the

section on Register Items Before You Leave the United

States).

When I traveled to Germany in Oct. 2001 that was all I had to do as far as US laws were concerned. When you go the the CBP office, usually some where at your local airport, DO NOT TAKE the firearm into the office, leave in your car trunk and then go in. They will fill out the form and then go out to the car with you and comfirm the SN on the gun.

Thanks so much! So basicly I need gun,ammo,belt and gears to show the CBP and all paper works will be done at the airport? Would that take time to process?

I have another problem with the airline(Chaina Airline).I looked at their website but could not find any contact number in US.All they have are the number in Taiwan.I dont think I should call them and talk about the firearm over the phone.

Thanks
