COMPLIANCE NOTICES
Magazine & Firearm Accessory Restrictions
IMI Defense™ is committed to complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing the sale and shipment of firearm magazines, firearm accessories, components, and related products within the United States.
Laws and regulations vary by jurisdiction and may restrict magazine capacity or the purchase, possession, transfer, shipment, or delivery of certain firearm-related products. IMI Defense™ will not knowingly process or ship an order where the sale or shipment is prohibited by applicable law.
Customers are responsible for understanding and complying with the laws applicable to their location before ordering. Dealers, distributors, resellers, and other parties purchasing IMI Defense™ products for resale are responsible for determining whether subsequent sale, transfer, or delivery to an end user is lawful.

Customer Responsibility
Firearm and firearm-accessory laws can change and may differ between states, counties, municipalities, and other jurisdictions. It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm that the purchase, possession, receipt, and use of an IMI Defense™ product is lawful in their jurisdiction.
The ability to place an item in a shopping cart or submit an order does not constitute a representation by IMI Defense™ that the product is legal in the customer’s jurisdiction. IMI Defense™ reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order that cannot legally be sold or shipped to its destination.
