Pwede ba...ballistic vest from US?

[valian]

I am based in the US. I have a friend in Bikol who is a PNP officer. He wants to get a ballistic vest and would like for me to get one for him here in the US and send it to him but we just have no idea if it is possible and legal to ship a vest to him in Phils. Anyone know if this is OK to do?

Salamat

Thanks. That shoots that down. I had not even thought of ITAR applying to the vests and was thinking more about Phil. law.

Ownership of Ballistic Vests in the Philippines is supposed to be covered by certain
restrictions, with mandatory registration involved (Hq-PC Circular 1 27Apr1981), but
as your friend is in the PNP, that is not an issue.
Ballistic Vests are available locally, NIJ IIIA to IV.

Oh I didn't know you had to register your Ballistic vests!!!
Thanks for that heads up!

It's actually possible that most of PNP-FED doesn't know it (or care) either.

It is least of their (PNP) concern. I would imagine that they would run after loose FA's as priority.
