Fire Arms & Weapons

Belgium:
Shipping or importing pofs into Belgium are prohibited. The definition of pofs includes any weapon that is designed for or can be
readily converted to be used for attack, defense, sports, games or hunting by driving a projectile through the barrel. This includes air
pistols, air rifles and firing replicas of antique firearms.

Germany:
Privately owned firearms will not be included in household goods/unaccompanied baggage shipments, hand carried, or transported
in luggage to Germany unless the owner possesses a valid German weapons possession card (waffenbesitzkarte) specifically listing
those firearms. Antique pofs manufactured during or before 1898, and single-shot black powder pofs are not required to be registered
with the German authorities, and may be shipped or transported in luggage to Germany. Members who have in their possession
waffenbesitzkarte from a previous assignment in Germany are authorized to ship pofs, as long as the waffenbesitzkarte covering
the pofs to be shipped has not expired. Copy of the waffenbesitzkarte must accompany shipment.

Netherlands:
Prior to shipment, permission to import the pof into the Netherlands is required from Dutch Customs. A Dutch weapons permit is
not likely to be granted, as the application requires documentation that few American citizens can provide. Given these difficulties,
we recommend that personnel moving to the Netherlands do not attempt to ship a pof into the country

Hungary:
Hand guns: Prohibited
Shotguns/rifles: One shotgun or one rifle is allowed for hunting purposes. A permit before import importation, otherwise it will be
confiscated. No firearm may be imported for personal use prior to the Ambassador’s approval.
