Frequently Asked Questions About ATF Form 4587
Who is required to register using this importer form?
Any person or business that engages in the commercial importation of articles on the U.S. Munitions Import List must register using the ATF importer application. This includes firearms dealers, ammunition importers, and defense contractors bringing controlled items into the United States. Those importing covered articles for personal non-commercial use may be subject to different requirements.
What is the U.S. Munitions Import List?
The U.S. Munitions Import List is a catalog of controlled defense articles whose importation is regulated by the Arms Export Control Act and administered by the ATF. The list includes categories such as firearms, ammunition, explosives, and military-grade equipment. Importing any item from this list without proper ATF registration is prohibited under federal law.
Is ATF Form 4587 the same as Form 5330.4?
Yes. Both numbers refer to the same document. The designation 4587 is the standard form number assigned by the ATF, while 5330.4 is the OMB control number used for regulatory tracking. Both names appear on the official government document and refer to the same application for importer registration.
How long does the ATF registration process take?
Processing times for the importer registration application vary based on the volume of submissions received by the ATF and the completeness of the information provided. Applicants should plan for a processing period of several weeks. Submitting a fully complete document with all required supporting materials helps avoid delays caused by requests for additional information.
