Cody How Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I'm a 15 years old kid from Hong Kong and I've played airsoft for four years. I will be studying abroad to UK next year and I would like to bring three of my guns (RIF) along with me, what should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enid_Puceflange Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi I don't know if you will find it easy to bring into the UK with a UKARA defence Not what you want to hear, I would leave them at home or sell them Use the site rentals until>>>> Once you have played 3 times within a timescale (duration escapes me) you will then get a UKARA number which will allow you to buy RIF's if you are here for long enough to justify buying My Wife and I are heading to HK for our 6th visit in August , I am hoping to pick some gear up when visiting 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody is already an airsofter and intends to play airsoft with their existing RIFs. (UKARA is not a legal requirement but is a recognised scheme) Being an airsofter and importing for the purpose of playing airsoft skirmishing at insured sites would meet the legal criteria, but would need to justify that to customs on arrival. Some other posters have asked about importing when they travel to the U.K., advice is to contact Border Force etc to clarify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
