Important Information on Crossbow Purchases

When purchasing crossbows, it's crucial to be aware of the legal requirements in your country. Certain countries have specific regulations and permit requirements for owning or importing crossbows. Below, we outline the necessary permits for several countries:

Countries Requiring Permits/Licenses for Crossbows

Norway
Poland
Romania

Sweden

Failure to obtain the necessary permits may result in your package being blocked by customs. We strongly advise checking the specific regulations in your country before making a purchase. Please note that while we strive to remain informed about the restrictions on the purchase and ownership of archery equipment, Mirito.com is a retail store and not a legal advisory service. For legal advice, always consult with the appropriate local authorities.

Side note: Belgium does not require a permit or license to purchase and own a crossbow. However, in some parts of Belgium hunting is not prohibited, but various documents are required to do so, such as proof of insurance, hunting licences and/or permits. Hunting with a recurve bow or crossbow is in a legal grey area. We recommend that you contact the relevant local authorities for the most up-to-date information: the Agency for Nature and Forests (ANB) for Flanders and the Department of Nature and Forests (DNF) for Wallonia.
