Weapons – Registration for the qualification test for commercial arms trading
As part of the licensing procedure for commercial arms trading, you must prove that you have the relevant specialist knowledge. To do this, you take a specialist knowledge examination at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (Industrie- und Handleskammer or IHK). With proof of specialist knowledge, you can continue the permit procedure for arms trading. The certificate is valid for an unlimited period of time and nationwide.
Usually, the examination is ordered by the authority to which you applied for the weapons permit and cannot be applied for separately.
Depending on the scope of the trade permit you have applied for, the examination covers certain categories of weapons.
Theoretical and practical part of the examination:
