Article 9. (Marking)

Prior to legal entry into the country, all firearms, ammunition, parts or major components and related materials must be properly identified by alphanumeric labeling. This will record the name of the manufacturer, country of import, place, year of manufacture, trademark, model and calibre. This data will be entered into the appropriate register and will signify who is entering the country and for what purpose.

Weapons used by the military and police should also be visibly marked with the following inscription: "Plurinational State of Bolivia".

Ammunition will have the marking of the manufacturer and a batch number, as well as the year that it was manufactured.
