Foreign Order Policy / Exporting

Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels, Inc. is a registered exporter with the U.S. State Department.

All overseas orders must be accompanied by a 50% deposit (in U.S. funds, drawn on a U.S. bank) or a credit card number. We prefer a credit card because the card company handles the exchange rates.

NOTE: As of January 2009 we have had to increase our fee for processing foreign orders from $75 to $350. The State Department enacted a retroactive fee of $250 per application for the year of 2008 and for all new applications plus increased the annual registration fee to $2750. They also lacked the courtesy to inform of us this retroactive fee until our 2009 renewal notice came although the change took place in September of 2008.

A charge of $350 will be added to each foreign order license. This charge covers the processing of export paperwork and the registration fees with the State Department. An order can be for a single barrel or for hundreds, one $350 charge applies per application. For example, if a foreign business applies for multiple barrels we can deliver barrels individually on that license until it expires (usually 2 years) and the total number of barrels on the license does not have to be filled. See the link below for additional information on Canadian exporting. We understand through a phone conversation in 2004 with a State Department official that they are not approving export licenses for any .50 caliber barrels.

To process the application for export the U.S. State Department requires the following:

  1. An original document or certified copy of a duly-issued import authorization.
  2. A written explanation is required for any application that does not include an import authorization (e.g., letter from importing government stating that the item does not require an import certificate; applicant certification that no import permit is required).
  3. A Purchase Order written on the buyer's letterhead. The State Department is no longer accepting P.O.'s written on our order form. The P.O. should include a statement-of-use such as: "To be used for hunting or sporting purposes.".
  4. The end-user must complete and return a State Department DSP-83 form. To download a copy of a printable blank form in a .pdf file - Click Here. To download an Adobe .pdf reader see the bottom of this page.
  5. English translations must be provided for foreign language documents.

We prefer to ship barrels through the U.S. Postal Service. United Parcel Service and FedEx will not accept firearms or parts for foreign delivery.
