Export control in the United States is administered through the regulations administered by the U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control. Mile High Shooting Accessories follows all of these regulations, so we request that you please read and familiarize yourself with the following regarding certain applicable export regulations.
It is strictly prohibited to sell, transfer, transport, or ship outside of the U.S. any product prohibited or restricted for export without complying with U.S. export control laws and regulations-- including proper export licensing, documentation or authorization-- and to do so may result in civil penalties and/or constitute a federal crime. MHSA will not complete any transaction that requires the illegal export of any products, and will not assist directly or indirectly with the illegal export or re-export of any products. An accurate Automated Export System (AES) filing must be made, whether or not the exportation requires a license.
Please indicate on your order if you wish to purchase an item for shipment or use outside of the United States. Depending on the value of the order, specific item(s), end user, country of ultimate destination, and end use, MHSA may be required to apply for an export license with the appropriate U.S. government agency. Several items on the website may require an export license, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Night Optics
- Thermal Scopes
- Lasers
APO/FPO Shipping and Export Restrictions: All orders shipping to U.S. Military addresses must comply with U.S. Export Control Laws and Regulations. Under these laws, all shipments to an APO/FPO/DPO are considered international; therefore, export restrictions are applicable.
For items ordered that are restricted, controlled, or require an Export License, a representative from MHSA will contact the customer within 48-72 hours to discuss shipping options. Please note, orders that include products on the United States Munitions List (USML), in accordance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Title 22, Code of Federal Regulations Part 120-130, can never ship and will be canceled.
Please note that due to agreements with our suppliers, some brands are restricted from shipping to an APO/FPO/DPO address. However, we are glad to ship this item(s) to you if you provide us with an alternate physical U.S. address.
