- advertisement of firearms for sale will be prohibited unless the sale is to be conducted by or through a licensed gun dealer;
- the movement of firearms covered by Licence Categories C, D and H will be in accordance with prescribed safety requirements; and
- the commercial transport of ammunition with firearms will be prohibited.
