I own 2 shotguns which I use for clay shooting. The removal company say that due to new international legislation they do not want include them with my household goods and that I should take them on the plane with me as hand luggage, and that the airline will store them en-route. However what happens when I arrive in France as I will have no permit to possess them. Can anyone advise on importing a shotguns into France? I believe that you can obtain temporary permits which visiting hunters often use.
