Forwarding US Firearms Accessories Internationally
Holsters, optics, slings, magazines, cleaning gear — what Selectido can and can't forward, and the line we don't cross.
Recommended carrier
FedEx International Economy (carriers vary by item — Selectido routes per regulation).
What trips most people up
Firearms themselves: NEVER forwardable. Ammunition: NEVER forwardable. Optics, holsters, cleaning kits, slings, and most non-functional accessories: case-by-case based on destination country law.
Three things that actually matter
- Magazines: restricted in EU, UK, Australia, Canada (capacity limits vary). Always check.
- Red dot sights and scopes: usually fine but may require import permits in EU/AU
- Suppressors, silencers, NFA-regulated items: NEVER forwardable internationally
Customs & duty
Sporting goods classification (HS 9305). Duty 0–8% in most countries. Some EU countries require sporting permit even for accessories.

Frequently asked
Can Selectido forward firearms accessories (non-restricted)?
Yes — within applicable carrier and destination-country rules. Restricted items (firearms, hazmat, controlled substances) are blocked at intake.
Will customs hold my package?
Depends on destination + declared value + category. Selectido pre-screens shipments against destination rules to flag likely holds before you pay shipping.
Can I consolidate multiple orders?
Yes. 60 days free storage, repack into one outbound shipment. Saves 30–60% on shipping for most categories.
