I had heard they were trying to do this. Looks like it will finally take effect pretty soon. Transferring commercial firearms export licensing to the Commerce department and eliminating the gunsmith fee that was talked about a few years ago.
The rules issued today transfer export licensing of sporting and commercial firearms and ammunition products to the Commerce Department from the State Department. This change removes unnecessary and outdated regulations and allows the State to focus its export control resources on those items that give our warfighters a tactical advantage. It makes no sense to treat the commercial sale of hunting or target shooting rifles with the same level of scrutiny as nuclear weapons, tanks and fighter aircraft.
The new rules also eliminate a punitive annual $2,250 registration fee that gunsmiths and small companies who do not manufacture, nor export firearms or ammunition products were forced to pay.

Interesting. Not sure how it's going to change things, but sounds good.

I guess I count it as another ridiculous rule change done during the Obama administration that is now undone.
As far as the gun industry, I hope this makes it easier for our own domestic firearms to be exported. We will see.

All gunsmiths in the USA were being forced to pay over $2 K federal taxes yearly to fund ITAR. That is gone.
