It’s going to get a lot easier to export some firearms from the US due to a new Trump administration rule.
- The movement in jurisdiction of certain firearms sales from the State Department to Commerce Department means U.S. manufacturers will have fewer registration requirements in order to obtain an export license.
- The long-delayed rule change, which began under the Obama administration, is intended to lower costs for U.S. firearms makers such as American Outdoor Brands Corp. and Sturm, Ruger and Co.
- In May 2018, Trump formally proposed streamlining the process for exporting American firearms.
WASHINGTON — In a move aimed at boosting the sale of U.S. firearms and ammunition abroad, the Trump administration has eased regulations on some commercial firearms exports.
