ItsNotSpaghetti Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi there, I'm traviling to the czech Republic and I'm planning to buy a sniper rifle there. I then want to bring it back into the UK. I know it cant be hand luggage but, when brining it back would I need to declare it and or put on the rifle bag stating that it is an airsoft gun?

Asomodai Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 If you're buying from Anareus they will ship anything for free that is over 200 euros EU wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsNotSpaghetti Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Yeah but I'm buying it from a store inside. Then on the 19th of August come back to England and bring the gun with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any particular reason you dont want to ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgePlaysAirsoft Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I'd advise you contact the airline and confirm in writing that they are willing to carry a RIF. Then I would contact border force with details of your flight. But it would be easier and far less risky to have it posted. https://basc.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=102 - border force guidance which may be of use. Hope this helps.

ItsNotSpaghetti Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 It's been sorted out by customs. I've decided not to do it as it is too much hassle. My dad has the ukara and I asked customs if I would be able to bring it on board and they said no. And besides I have found a different sniper in the UK which I'm going to get. Thanks for all of your replys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
