Flypz Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hi I live in the UK and planning to go for a holiday to Romania in the summer where I will get a new airsoft rifle. I will leave the country for 3 weeks with car and I don t want any trouble when I'm coming back. I know that if they don't search the car, I can import and it will be fine on the border but if for some reason I have to provide evidence of the RIFs origin, I might be run into legal problems. Another option would be to buy a RIF here in the UK and transport it through 5 countries back and forth. (Which would be okay as all of these countries allow airsoft rifles to be transported) What about emailing or calling the border defense to get a certificate or some paper to clarify the situation if the car is searched. (I know UKARA only protects the seller and I know it would be easier to buy a RIF here but I need a solution for this specific situation) Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted March 17, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 17, 2018 UKARA is a defence and importing is an offence. So it will protect you there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommikka Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 There won’t be a problem being searched if you’re only bringing back items that are legal in the UK The two points of concern on import are customs and making sure items are UK legal Romania is within the EU, so no import duty / import VAT Keep the packaging and receipt and have your UKARA information All should be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
