AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted April 16, 2011 AF-UK Founding Member Share Posted April 16, 2011 If you have a valid defence then it should be easy enough. Postage costs can be worked out by just going through the checkout. Customs charges can be worked out to a degree by going onto the customs site and seeing how much you could be taxed for.

AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted April 16, 2011 AF-UK Founding Member Share Posted April 16, 2011 Could be £30-£50 I should imagine, depends on the value of the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Shouldn't be a problem since you have UKARA. I've bought from ehobbyasia before and their pretty good. I think you can get an estimate of how much it will cost on their site when you go to order it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wølf Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 For a RIF you should expect to pay anywhere between £60-£90 on customs charges unless you somehow get lucky. From what people have said i was lucky to only have to pay £60 for my WE pdw from redwolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigshep Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 1: do a checkout, the postage costs are listed 2: Ask them to put your UKARA number on the outside of the box 3: you will pay customs at 20% 'ish of the value including shipping, plus a handling fee of £14-20 To get round the customs fee, see if someone in Europe has the gun. http://www.taiwangun.com/ or http://gunfire.pl/searching.php?reason=product may have what you are after and as they are in the EU, youdon't pay customs duties, just shipping (about £20) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
