TITLE: ATF Proposes Firearm Import Modernization; Uzbekistan May Ease Vehicle Entry
CATEGORY: Customs Regulations

Two significant regulatory announcements regarding imports were recently reported, though with different levels of official confirmation. First, the U.S. ATF published six proposed rules in the Federal Register to modernize and streamline the process for permanent importation of firearms, ammunition, and defense articles. These proposals are open for public comment and, if adopted, would modify current procedures. Second, as reported by Gazeta.uz, Uzbekistan may have eliminated the restriction limiting individuals and companies to importing only one vehicle per year for personal use. No official instrument confirming this measure has been published yet, so its scope and effective date remain preliminary.
