You need to keep this and have it available on your return to the U.S. if there is any question about what weapons you left with.

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for.


That form that Drover is referring to is 100% optional, but it would prove to US border officials that you didn't buy the firearm in Canada (and then have to pay US tax for it).
