FAQs for International Purchasers

EasyExport is a processing service that enables U.S. sellers of firearms, optics, parts and accessories to safely, securely and reliably comply with U.S. export regulations when they ship these items to purchasers like you outside the United States. EasyExport also helps purchasers obtain import permits that their countries require for certain items purchased from EasyExport exporters. With EasyExport, U.S. sellers will no longer tell you they can’t ship to you.

By giving U.S. sellers a way to comply with export regulations and to know that import permits have been obtained by purchasers when required, EasyExport enables them to ship their products to you without fear they will violate the law or that you will not receive delivery of the items you buy. That allows U.S. sellers to open the doors of their online stores to you. But EasyExport helps you in other ways, too. Do you have questions about import permits in your country? EasyExport has all the information and links you need. And with a single user ID and password, you will be able to log in at any EasyExport exporter’s website.

If you arrive at the EasyExport.net website from an EasyExport exporter’s website and create a Purchaser Account, the exporter will become your “Home Store” in EasyExport and will receive your contact information unless you opt out. Your Home Store may contact you with offers and promotions unless you opt out. No other EasyExport exporter or any other company will receive any personal information you provide to us, except for purposes of processing orders you place and for operating the EasyExport system. Information that we provide to exporters for processing orders may not be used by them for any other purpose.

EasyExport will not sell your personal data to anyone.  Please see our Privacy Policy for additional information.

EasyExport’s role is to help you create and maintain your Purchaser Account and work in the background to process your orders for EasyExport exporters. Your shopping experience is completely between you and the store where you shop. After you have created your EasyExport Purchaser Account, you won’t ever need to return to your EasyExport dashboard except to upload or download documents or to obtain information about import, export and customs regulations.

If you are located in one of the 14 countries to which EasyExport supports sales to individuals, EasyExport identifies items that require an import permit during its analysis of the shopping cart and will tell you which import permit is required. You also will find detailed information and links in your purchaser account dashboard to help you obtain the correct import permit.

We are not yet able to provide the same support to purchasers in the other 68 countries to which EasyExport exporters ship. If you are located in one of those countries, it is your responsibility to identify import permit requirements and to upload import permits to EasyExport so your orders can be cleared for shipment.

Please read this information carefully to avoid any surprises. We encourage you to use the links and contact information we provide if you need additional information from the appropriate agencies in your country.
