Join the F.A.I.R. Trade Group and SIA for four half-days dedicated to guiding businesses through the many challenges of importing and exporting firearms and ammunition.

Register for this event to hear from distinguished officials from ATF, Customs and Border Protection, the Census Bureau, and the Departments of State, Commerce, and Justice. The convenient virtual format with content delivered from 12:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET over four days allows attendees to manage ongoing business demands each day, while staying current with the rules and policies governing firearms and ammunition imports and exports.
