Well gentlemen, what a painless process that was. A week after making contact with BF via email and requesting to speak directly with the officer associated with my case, my GHK Glock 17 Gen 5 has arrived.
Can’t thank all of you enough for your sound advise, it’s been very much appreciated and will endeavor to help anyone in the future as you have all helped me??
Wow, the Airsoft community is not dead. I did not expect this sort of reply. All I can say is thank you and I’ll give it a bloody good go and see what happens!
Luck of the draw, “you payed your money and takes your chance”. I can’t be too bitter, all part of learning, see what happens!
Hello, yes I do have UKARA and did request that the sender put this on the packaging. However unknown if this was completed.
This is the correspondence from them.
Hello all, received a letter from border force. Would appear mine is one that’s been caught in red tape and has subsequently been ‘seized’. Import from Hong Kong.
The letter states I can appeal this in writing and by seeking my own legal representation, however other than simply stating that yes it is a RIF and I intend to use it for Airsoft purposes I’m not entirely sure what they’re asking for.
I appreciate putting a UKARA on the box, however that doesn’t really seem to mean anything.
if anyone has had a similar issue and happy to advise it would be much appreciated.
