Misc Experiences With Borderview

Hey y’all! Good to see you guys again today! Big question for anyone who has any information, as some is better than none, I am moving to Louisiana in 2028 and being a gun owner in that situation is incredible. However, I want to bring down my current firearms from up here in Canada. I’ve been recommended a few importers and exporters, but consistently I have been directed to Borderview. Has anyone here used them for a move or for importing/exporting a gun? Do you recommend someone else? I’m going to be dealing with a lot of headache with all of the other documents regarding moving permanently, so knowing that there are people who helps with this kind of stuff is good to hear. Please let me know if any of you guys got any info! Have a good day!

I used it to send my cousin his dad's gun. Once I got the paperwork done it was straight forward.

best to call them and figure out what all you need. As some of our Firearms we have are not legal down in the states. I have good friend in Colorado and we talk guns a lot and I will be looking at a shotgun here that is 12inch barrel and he cant get it there.

Thank you! I’ve sent them two emails and both times they asked me to fill out their sheet to get me a custom quote but both times they never responded so I might just give them a direct shout and see. Thank you!

Just a FYI there are different rules for a person moving then simply importing a gun. Call the ATF and explain your situation.
