Shipment of Firearms Seized

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized an arriving international shipment of 60 pump action shotguns and 177 pistols. The shipment declared as “Toys” was valued $14,000 and shipped from Istanbul, Turkey.

Neither the shotguns nor the pistols were found to have any serial numbers or markings. The commercial importation of firearms is prohibited if not accompanied by proper entry permission. The shipment was seized to secure borders and protect the American public from harm.

The detection and seizure of these firearms is the direct result of attentive and diligent work by CBP officers. No arrests have been made in this case; however the investigation continues.

All firearms seized were turned over to «CBP Fines, Penalties and Forfeitures» for future forfeiture proceedings and disposal determination.
