[QUOTE="066wally, post: 2448516, member: 32640"] Get the forms, fill them out and take forms and firearms to customs office (generally near airport). Customs checks serial nos. And signs forms. They don't check anything else and don't keep copies of the forms. The forms are just proof to TSA that they are your firearms. Forms are the same for any other expensive items you take in/out of the country as proof that you owned it before you left. Keep one copy of forms on your person and on set locked in gun case with guns. At the departing airport declare that you are traveling with firearms at baggage drop off. TSA will inspect the forms and guns to match serial nos, and verify unloaded. The TSA cannot inspect without you being present and don't just hand them the keys. Likely they take you and guns to a room to quickly inspect, then you check the guns with your baggage, likely with a sticker on the gun case stating firearms enclosed. I've had guns come out with regular large item baggage claim and sometimes they are held in a more secure area. When passing through customs the forms/guns get checked again and you are on your way. Airlines are used to people traveling with firearms, particularly international flights. Ammo goes into checked bags separate from firearms. There is often a weight limit to ammo (per person/hunter) that can be brought into a country. Tear up the forms when you are home. There's no record they ever existed. [/QUOTE]
