Firearms Import and Export, also known as FIE, was a firearms manufacturer, importer, exporter and wholesale distributor of firearms, whose main office was located in Opa-Locka, Florida. FIE imported firearm components into the United States and had them assembled in the Miami area in order to comply with federal firearms laws. The company sold large numbers of inexpensive pistols, as well as imported sporting rifles and shotguns, from 1969 until the company filed for bankruptcy in 1990.[1][2][3] [4][5] The company was an offshoot of Eig Cutlery, which had previously imported firearms from abroad, but was prohibited from continuing to import many types of firearms due to the Gun Control Act of 1968.[6]
