ATF Compliance & CBP Clearance

For licensees and importers

If you hold an FFL, your bound book is the document an ATF inspection lives and dies by — every acquisition and disposition, reconciled, in order. If you import, that record has to line up with your Form 6, your Form 6A, and your CBP entry, or a shipment stalls and an audit gets uncomfortable. We support and train FFLs of all types — record-keeping, import filings, even manufacturing and gunsmithing process guidance — and if you don't hold an import license yourself, we'll run the import under our FFL08 and land it cleanly in your book.

Keeping shipments moving

Most compliance problems on the commerce side are really timing and paperwork-consistency problems: an entry filed before the permit, a book that doesn't reconcile, a Form 6A that doesn't match what shipped. We know where those snags happen because we clear them on our own imports, and we can help you keep a shipment from getting stuck in a bonded warehouse over a fixable form error.

Training for licensed FFLs — Dealer Ready

For structured training and certification, our sister brand Dealer Ready runs compliance courses built by FFLs, for FFLs. Role-based certification bundles — counter staff, gunsmiths, NFA processors — cover 4473s, NFA forms, manufacturing, and ATF regulations, with audit-ready documentation that satisfies insurance carriers and stands up at inspection, and courses that update when the regulations do. One untrained employee can cost you your license; a documented training program is how you make sure that never happens.
