Atf Form 5300 11 – Fill Out and Use This PDF

Instructions

1.This form must be submitted annually for all Type 07 (manufacturer of firearms), and Type 10 (manufacturer of destructive devices) Federal Firearms Licenses, in compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 923 (g)(5)(A). Purpose: The AFMER is intended for manufacturers to report only the number of firearms distributed into commerce or exported during the reported calendar year regardless of when they were manufactured; not the total number of firearms you manufactured. The AFMER is not a tax form - it is used for statistical purposes.

2.IMPORTANT: Even if no firearms have been exported or distributed into commerce, an annual report must still be filed. The current reporting period is for the previous calendar year ending on December 31.

3.This form MUST be submitted by April 1st. Please retain a copy for your files.

4.When a manufacturing license is discontinued, submit this form no later than 30 days following the discontinuance of business; include the date of discontinuance in Item 7.

Check "Out of Business Final Report" at the top of the form and complete form.

5.You must identify/briefly describe all miscellaneous firearms accounted for in item 8j and/or item 9j.

6.(a) Export data in item 9 is not a sub-set of the data in item 8. They should be separate counts. For example, if you manufactured 10 pistols and distributed 7 of them into

commerce and exported the other 3, 7 should be reported in item 8, and 3 should be reported in item 9.

(b)If a DSP-73 application was approved for an export, and thus the firearm was only exported temporarily, the export does not need to be reported on this form.

7.This form must be executed (signed) by a person authorized to sign and be responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information furnished.

8.If at any time after filing your report you discover an error in what you reported, please submit a corrected AFMER. Be sure to check "Amended Report" at the top of the form and be sure to indicate the correct calendar year for which you are reporting the corrected information.

9.Submission of the completed form can only be submitted in two acceptable formats:

• Electronically submit via eForms: www.atf.gov/firearms/application-eforms

(Electronic submissions MUST be completed by an active responsible person on the license and requires a one-time registration process and authorized ATF approval which can take a few days)
