Consolidation Service to the USA

Consolidation Door to Door service

Our Consolidation Service is a cost-effective, door-to-door solution for shipping licensed and antique firearms from the UK to the USA.

Designed for buyers looking to save on shipping costs, we combine multiple firearms into one export shipment, reducing international freight charges while ensuring full legal compliance.

We handle the entire process—from UK collection and packing to export licensing, U.S. ATF import permits, customs clearance, and final delivery to your chosen U.S. FFL dealer.
While this service is more economical, it does involve a longer processing time (approximately 12+ weeks), as items are grouped for shipment and processed together on arrival in the USA.

Charges are based per invoice (not per shipment), and we provide clear breakdowns for UK handling, airfreight, insurance, U.S. import duties, and final domestic delivery.

This service is ideal for auction buyers and private collectors who are not in a rush but want a reliable, compliant way to move their firearms across borders—handled entirely by experts.

If you’re unsure whether this service is right for you, feel free to get in touch—we’re happy to walk you through the process.

Licensed Firearms

An import permit and transfer through an FFL licence are required in the USA.

The U.S. import permit (Form 6, Part 1) will be obtained as part of the consolidation service. Once in the U.S., we will transfer the firearms to your local FFL dealer for final transfer to you. Be sure to check if your local FFL dealer charges any additional fees for background checks or transfers.

Antique Firearms

Antique Pistols, Rifles, Air Rifles, and related items: These typically do not require an import permit or licence in the USA.
They will also not need to be transferred to an FFL and onward delivery can be to an address of your choosing.
