Export Policies
U.S. Export Controls
United States export controls and other regulations apply to our international sales. Therefore, at this time we do not ship to every country in the world. Today, we ship our products to 82 countries.
We apologize if we are not able to ship to your country today. The number of countries to which we ship will grow, so please check back in the future.
In certain countries, we ship firearm parts and optical sights to dealers, distributors, other authorized businesses and government agencies, but not to individuals.
Import Permits
Your country may require that you obtain an import permit for certain products we sell. It is your responsibility to obtain any import permit required by your country.
International Shipments to Firearm Dealers and Distributors, Other Business Purchasers, and Government Agencies
We can ship all our products to firearm dealers and distributors, other authorized businesses, and government agencies in 82 countries.
If you place an order with us that requires an export license, please allow 12 weeks for us to ship your merchandise.
To learn about our international dealer program, contact internationalsales@volquartsen.com.
International Shipments to Individuals
U.S. export controls do not apply to items that are not export-controlled. We ship these products directly to individuals in these countries.
We accept orders for firearm parts from individuals in these 23 countries
We are unable to ship complete firearms, or firearm frames or receivers, to individuals. Please ask a licensed firearms dealer near you to purchase the firearm, frame or receiver and transfer it to you in your country.
Small Orders for Firearms Parts (USD 500 or less)
Most orders over USD 500 for firearm parts will require an export license. If an export license is required, please allow an additional 30-45 days for us to ship. We do not charge for obtaining export licenses. If we have previously obtained an export license to ship to you, the previous export license may authorize us to ship to you without obtaining a new export license.
Most orders for firearm parts with a total value of USD 500 or less do not require an export license. However, there is an annual limit (1 January to 31 December) of USD 6,000 on the total value of small orders we can ship to you without an export license. After that limit has been reached, small orders for firearm parts will likely require an export license.
Rifle Scopes and Other Optics
U.S. export controls apply to most telescopic, holographic, reflex/red dot, and reticle sights, and other sights with optical elements.
We do not accept orders to export rifle scopes or other optics.
APO/FPO Addresses
Shipments to APO/FPO addresses are treated as exports under American regulations. We regret that we are unable to ship to APO/FPO addresses.

End User Statement
Firearms, firearm parts and optics that we export are authorized for end use only as allowed by U.S. law.
Firearms, firearm parts and optics that are shipped to individuals and to other purchasers who are not authorized to resell them under the laws of their country may not be transferred or sold without the permission of the U.S. Government. You are not permitted to buy firearms, firearm parts or optics for family, friends or other people. You can purchase these items only for your own use.
Products shipped to dealers and distributors for resale may be resold only to lawful purchasers in the country to which we ship the products and only in accordance with the laws of that country. Products purchased for resale may not be sold to purchasers in any other country or exported to any other country.
Dealers and distributors who buy firearms for resale are required to comply with resale requirements imposed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). These requirements, and how to comply with them, are described in this video.
Terms and Conditions of International Sale
All international sales are subject to the following terms and conditions:
International Shipping
Available international shipping options vary from country to country. We prefer to use the United States Postal Service (USPS) for small packages, but USPS does not carry all products to all countries. UPS, FedEx, DHL, and other courier services have restrictions on what products they will carry internationally.
We can ship by commercial freight forwarder to all countries, but that is often too expensive for small shipments. If we encounter difficulties shipping your product, we will contact you.
We will provide tracking information after your order has shipped if tracking information is available to us. Questions regarding international shipping can be directed to internationalsales@volquartsen.com.
Compliance with Firearm and Other Laws in Your Country
You are not permitted to buy firearms, firearm parts, or any other items we sell unless you are authorized to own and possess them in your country. It is your responsibility to check the laws and regulations in your country to determine that you are permitted to own and possess them.
You are not permitted to buy our products for resale in your country unless you are registered with EasyExport as a Business and are authorized under the laws of your country to resell them.
Purchasers of firearms and components are responsible for proof testing, marking and other entry requirements in their country. If products you purchase need to be shipped directly to a testing or other facility prior to delivery to you, you must enter the address of the facility as a shipping address in your EasyExport profile.
Delivery, Insurance, Risk of Loss
When we ship a package by USPS or other courier service such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL, we will present the package to the carrier, cost of shipment paid and properly addressed, based on the address you have given EasyExport, and with other shipping information and documents in our control properly completed. Clearance of the package through U.S. Customs is our responsibility. You are responsible for all costs in your country and for clearing the package through Customs in your country. We are not responsible for deliveries that cannot be completed for any reason or for delays in delivery after we have presented the package to the carrier. Risk of loss transfers to you when we deliver the package to the carrier.
When we ship a consignment by commercial freight forwarder, we will present the package to a freight forwarder we select, cost of shipment paid and with all other customarily required shipping information and documents in our control properly completed. Clearance of the package through U.S. Customs is our responsibility. You are responsible for all costs in your country and for clearing the consignment through Customs in your country. If you intend to use an agent to clear the consignment through Customs and deliver them to you, the name and address of the agent must be entered in your EasyExport profile before you place your order. We are not responsible for deliveries that cannot be completed for any reason or for delays in delivery that occur after we have made the consignment available to the freight forwarder at our facility. Risk of loss transfers to you when we make the consignment available to our freight forwarder at our facility.
If actual shipping charges are greater than the amount we have previously charged you, you are responsible for the increased amount. If actual charges are less than the amount we have charged you, we will refund the difference.
We do not obtain insurance for shipments
