§478.120   Firearms or
ammunition imported by or for a nonimmigrant alien.

(a) General. A nonimmigrant
alien temporarily importing or bringing firearms or ammunition into the
United States for lawful hunting or sporting purposes must first obtain an
approved ATF Form 6NIA (5330.3D).

(b) Aliens admitted to the United
States under a nonimmigrant visa. (1) Any alien lawfully admitted
to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa who completes an ATF Form
6NIA to import firearms or ammunition into the United States, or any
licensee who completes an ATF Form 6 to import firearms or ammunition for
such nonimmigrant alien, must attach applicable documentation to the Form
6NIA or Form 6 establishing the nonimmigrant alien falls within an
exception specified in 18 U.S.C. 922(y)(2) (e.g., a hunting license or
permit lawfully issued in the United States) or has obtained a waiver as
specified in 18 U.S.C. 922(y)(3).

(2) Aliens admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa
importing or bringing firearms or ammunition into the United States must
provide the United States Customs and Border Protection with applicable
documentation (e.g., a hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the
United States) establishing the nonimmigrant alien falls within an
exception specified in 18 U.S.C. 922(y)(2) or has obtained a waiver as
specified in 18 U.S.C. 922(y)(3) before the firearm or ammunition may be
imported. This provision applies in all cases, whether or not a Form 6 is
needed to bring the firearms or ammunition into the United States.
