If you wish to import your own Airsoft replicas it is very important to make sure that you can verify with the new Boarder Agency your credentials to legally import.

If you cannot do this the Boarder Agency will destroy your goods without refund.

For Imitation Firearms (IF's) you must be able to prove you are over 18 years of age.

For Realistic Imitation Firearms you must be able to prove you are a member of an insured airsoft game site or an insured member of a recognised re enactment society and be over 18.

One of the main ways that the Boarder Agency checks your eligibility is by contacting UKARA, make sure your membership is up-to-date and your game site is participating in the scheme and has their cover up-to-date before your goods get to customs.
