The present Decree-Law aims to establish the regulations for the supervision and control of:
a) the permanent and temporary import and export of firearms and ammunition, as well as their corresponding accessories specified in the following articles;
b) the ownership, carrying, use, transit, commerce, transfer, transport, storage, maintenance, repair, security measures, occupation, decommissioning and finding, obligations, prohibitions, licences, permits, requirements and other activities associated with arms subject to licence or permit, which are destined for natural or legal persons inside the national territory;

[Editor's Note: After reviewing available legislation and other source documents, GunPolicy.org found no evidence of a provision in law to regulate this aspect of firearm policy. As some authorities enforce restrictions only in practice, the mere absence of a published legal provision should be treated with caution]
