Report the transfer of firearms or ammunition from Germany as an arms dealer

Source: Serviceportal Rheinland-Pfalz

The EU Reporting Service exists to ensure that the legal arms trade within the European Union (EU), the Schengen area and Northern Ireland can be traced. The Internal Market Information System (IMI) records reports on the transportation of weapons and ammunition throughout the EU. In Germany, the Federal Office of Administration (BVA) accepts transfer notifications for weapons and ammunition and transmits them to IMI.

Arms dealers and manufacturers can apply for a general transfer permit instead of a permit for each individual export. This is valid for 3 years. You can apply for the permit at the competent weapons authority.

Only if you are in possession of this general transfer permit are you obliged to report exports to equivalent member states directly to the BVA.

This notification includes information

  • the shipment,
  • the consignor and consignee,
  • the permit and
  • about the weapons or ammunition.
