Just came across this website for calculating import taxes for Airsoft weapons/products from overseas and thought i'd share it with the lovely people of AF-UK!

Yeah thanks, Suz.

 

Top tip: when ordering from outside the EU, don't buy anything expensive in the same order as a gun, because a package with a gun in it will get inspected and thus hit for VAT, whereas there's a very good chance (about 7:1 IME) that anything else will get through uninspected.

 

Edit: also, if you can avoid it, don't order from the USA, because yank suppliers always fill in the customs declaration in a way which draws attention - or maybe it's just the way exports from the USA are handled, I dunno, but you always get hit for mo money...
