Shipping to Hawaii
Hawaii needs the most advance planning of any state we ship to, because the Permit to Acquire has to be issued before the firearm moves, not after it arrives. Permits are issued separately for handguns and long guns, and suppressors are prohibited.
Firearms
Every firearm ordered from htxguns.com ships to a licensed dealer in Hawaii — never to a home address. You pick the dealer at checkout, we send the gun and a copy of our licence, and you collect from them once the background check clears. The dealer sets their own transfer fee and collects it directly from you.
Ammunition
Ammunition ships straight to a residential address in Hawaii, sent by ground as a limited-quantity shipment. No state paperwork is involved.
Suppressors and NFA items
Hawaii prohibits civilian suppressor possession, so we cannot transfer one there. This holds even with an approved Form 4 and a federal registration — federal approval does not override a state prohibition.
Optics, holsters, parts and gear
Everything outside firearms, ammunition and NFA ships direct to your address in Hawaii with no dealer and no paperwork.
What to have ready
A Hawaii Permit to Acquire, issued for handguns and long guns separately, obtained before the transfer. Your receiving dealer verifies this before they can release the firearm, so it is worth sorting out before you order rather than after the package arrives.

This page is our shipping policy, not legal advice. Hawaii's permit, waiting period, roster and magazine rules are applied by your receiving dealer at transfer, and several states' rules are currently being litigated. For the law itself, go to Hawaii Attorney General. Last reviewed 2026-08-16.
