    Well thats gonna be an interesting discovery either way then i guess lol, it sucks wanting so much stuff while on a tight budget

    As it stands, it is almost guaranteed that imports will become how they are with importing from non-EU nations.
    20% of the value added for VAT, along with the 5% Import and Duty fees (because it was Duty Free), then the £10 for customs.

    So for argument sake, if you pay £300 for a RIF and you import into the UK, your total bill would be £385, so you will have to pay £85 for it to clear customs, before your package will be delivered to you.

    Does anybody know the exact rules surrounding importing/ buying from the eu after december? I gather that new fees will be added but what would happen if i were to order on say the 30th of December?  Am i likely to get stung on this end even tho the transaction was done before the time limit?


    No because it's something that's part of the Brexit talks in terms of imports and exports, txes etc and considering how they are going at the moment, no one knows.
    If anyone says otherwise, or you read about it, it's bollocks.

    We won't know until a trade deal has been made with the EU.

    Here is the advice by the Government on the Gov.UK website https://www.gov.uk/prepare-to-import-to-great-britain-from-january-2021

  3. To add on, a UKARA is mainly there for the shops as a defence for them, so that they don't get the wrong side of the stick by the Law should you go out and then decide to do something stupid with it, because at the time you had a valid defence because to them you had a UKARA.

    But as stated, it's only one of many defences, you don't need one per say.
    In the 10 years of playing this hobby, and in the 5 years of owning Rifs, I have puchased RIFS without a UKARA before, simply because of the amount of times I have been to a site and they know me, and I have given a valid defence of that I do go and play airsoft and have provided proof of that (great pictures and all).

    The same goes for stores. As long as you are not acting like a complete melt, and have a defence of buying a Rif or IF, you are fine.
    The UKARA is often erroneously called a "License" and that is where it trips new and existing players up, I hope that helps.

    As they say, a UKARA is just an added defence and worth getting if it's not a hassle.
    I have all my kit and sometimes did not play airsoft in one year because of reasons, I still go and buy kit though for when I do.
