UKARA is not the defence, it's a way to prove the defence.

lol, how big is this going to become?

As a noob it can be a little bit of a minefield. Maybe you should add BAC into this too?

How is BAC relevant to a discussion about UKARA? BAC is worthless.

My understanding is that UKARA isn't the only way to support the defence. But I'm the noob I was talking about

Edited, to make it clearer.

Agreed.

Site membership is my defence.  It proves that I am a regular skirmisher (x number of times within that years membership period).

I have never applied for UKARA, not all airsoft sites use or like the scheme, and because I do not buy from abroad have no need for the UKARA number to assist Customs.

Your ZED adventures membership number is a UKARA number. But you would still have to add yourself to the database.

ZED Adventures are part of the UKARA scheme, and stamped my UKARA application form when I took out my site membership but I still have to send off the paperwork to get added to the UKARA database. 

Regarding UKARA numbers, no idea how the numbering system works are probably best to avoid discussing that because someone will post theirs and someone else will then try to "borrow" it to purchase a RIF.

First three digits are the site/store and the following are just sequential numbers.

No it isn't, your site membership is the SELLER's defence.  You don't need a defence because you're not the one committing a crime.

I came here to be pedantic but a different pedant has already done the pedantry that I wanted to do, so I'm about to deal some double pedantry: it is you that needs the defence when importing or manufacturing.
