I have a off topic question that I needed to get out to our friends in the UKicon.

I have a friend, who lives here in the States now, who's father recently passed in the Uk and has left him a pile of shotguns/rifles. I have instructed him to obtain the proper documents, if applicable, in his state for legal ownership. An importer is not the issue but rather, the procedure he need to do in the UK. I know he is required to notify the local police and possibly apply for a temp. permit to allow him the access to the firearms to move them to a proper place for storage but can he just move to export them ? Any help in this procedure would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to see such a fine family heirloom go to waste.
