I have a letter from BATF Hq (See attachment) stating that it is legal for the end user to remove the import mark.

Be careful with that: If you notice, it says "manufacturer's or
importer's" serial number. In some cases, guns that have non-Roman letter serial number prefixes or suffixes, or, in the case of some guns from Arabic countries, numerals in Arabic script, the guns are required to have a new "unique" serial number applied by the importer. According to that letter, it would be a no-no to remove that "unique" number, in spite of the fact that the original manufacturer's serial is still on the gun.
So, while it may be OK to remove the importer's name and address, you're still stick with the importer's "unique" serial number.
