Just spent a month in UPS limbo back and forth with the RIF / invoices showing what it was. (B-11 foregrip for AK74su). Then I get an e-mail 6th June 9:40 Blah Blah Blah "As a matter of urgency, please provide us with your clearance instructions; including: Customs query: Under declaration Item 3, for commodity code 93031000 a DBT Licence is mandatory against document code 9100. Exemption type/document status “XX” is not valid for this document." So do the old googling and customs Gov search. Commondity code 93031000 is for Muzzle loading firearms and 9100 details the documents needed, (a firearms licence) My reply 6th June 10:52 Commodity code should either be 93040000 - Other arms (for example, spring, air or gas guns and pistols, truncheons) Or 93059900 - Parts and accessories of articles of headings 9301 to 9304 (Military weapons/revolvers/firearms/Other arms (for example, spring, air or gas guns and pistols, truncheons) These parts should be exempt as they are superficial parts that can't be used to create a firearm or change a Realistic Imitation Firearm into a firearm. Code 9020 - This product is exempt as it does not meet the definition of a firearm, component part of a firearm, ammunition or a restricted firearms accessory as detailed in domestic firearms legislation. This exemption covers items such as - Air weapons not subject to control or restriction under domestic firearms legislation. 6th June 16:15 Get the e-mail for Import charges are due for this package. Select Pay Now (where available) or pay at delivery. Delivered 10th June. One day it took to sort it all, i was raging. I'll be adding these numbers to my RIF declaration and purchase comments in the future.
