On 5 May 2020, a Royal Decree was published in the Belgian Official Gazette regulating the obligation to declare neutralised firearms.<\/p>\n

From 5 June 2020, neutralised firearms will no longer be freely available, a transfer form model 9ter will always have to be drawn up.<\/p>\n

Those who already own neutralized firearms have until March 14, 2021 to register them.<\/p>\n

There will also be a regulation for the import and inheritance of neutralized firearms. We refer to the analysis of the Royal Decree above or to our website for more information. <\/p>\n<\/td> \n<\/tr> \n<\/tbody> \n<\/table> \n<\/figure> \n
