WASHINGTON, D.C.— NSSF^®, The Trade Association for the Firearm Industry, is pleased to announce that Mark Barnes & Associates will return as Gold Sponsor of the 2024 NSSF Annual Import/Export Conference that will take place July 30-August 1 in Washington, D.C.

Mark Barnes and Associates is a Washington, D.C.-based law firm handling matters related to the firearm, weapons and explosives industry, as well as firearm and ammunition excise tax matters.

“We’re very pleased to have Mark Barnes & Associates return to support this important industry conference as its Gold Sponsor,” said Melissa Schilling, NSSF Managing Director, Exhibitions and Conferences. “NSSF members value this conference to stay up to date on trade regulations for our industry.”

“Global trade relationships are essential to the performance of many companies in the firearms trade. Mark Barnes & Associates ardently represents a number of these companies in their import and export activities. The firm is proud to sponsor the NSSF Annual Import/Export Conference because of the critical knowledge that is transferred between the participants, as well as the opportunity to build positive relationships with relevant regulatory agencies, such as ATF, TTB and DDTC. The last few years have seen many policy changes at the federal level that require an in-depth understanding of these changes and how they affect business plans. The conference helps participants in the trade understand these developments and comply with national and international law, and contributes to the success of trade partners and businesses,” said Mark Barnes.

The NSSF Annual Import/Export Conference brings together industry professionals to discuss the many compliance issues that U.S. firearm and accessory manufacturers face in navigating the complexities involved when doing business with other countries. The event is the firearm industry’s premier educational resource for manufacturers and others in the supply chain either currently conducting business internationally or considering such expansion.

The 2024 NSSF Annual Import/Export Conference will run July 30 through August 1 at the Waldorf Astoria Washington, D.C. Registration is open and available to anyone in the firearm industry. NSSF members receive a significant discount on both their primary registration fee and for additional staff attending this event.
