HaggaiSA Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I think you should check full details of them with your nearest gendarmerie before you bring them in. I did this about ten years ago, just after stricter regulations were introduced in France, and was told I could not have a pump action shotgun here, although automatic shotguns were allowed. There were also specific regulations about barrel length, etc.You should also check whether there are restrictions on transporting them on your current permit.
