The second Trump administration has reversed the burdensome restrictions on the export of firearms and accessories imposed by the Biden administration in April 2024.
During the first Trump administration, the regulatory burden on the export of firearms and accessories was significantly reduced. Much of this was done by transferring the application for export process from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of State to the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). The BIS issued regulations to comply with the change.
On April 30, 2024, during the Biden administration, the BIS published an interim final rule. The interim final rule required new export license requirements on firearms, ammunition, and components. These restrictions were estimated to cost American manufacturers hundreds of millions of dollars in lost sales.
On September 30, 2025, the BIS in the second Trump administration issued a final rule that restored the regulatory scheme to that of the first Trump administration, effectively rescinding all the firearms export changes made by the Biden administration. The only change that was not rescinded was the change made in the administrative numbering system.
