JuggyUK Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) Apologies for the thread revival, thought it best not to open a new one. Does anyone know how long UK Customs take to check a RIF import? I ordered a Specna Arms from Gunfire in Poland which arrived in the UK last week. At first it was checked and released by a Government agency, I was charged import fees, so far so good. Then it went in to the warehouse and hasn't moved since. I contacted UPS to be told it is being held for a customs examination. Does anyone know how long these examinations usually take?

I think I have heard of worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuggyUK Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) Ouch, that is not good news. Thanks for letting me know. Weirdly enough, I ordered a sniper rifle from Novritsch which sailed through everything. I prepaid a very low import fee and Novritsch completed the customs declaration as well. Think I'll order more from them in future instead of Gunfire. Edited April 23 by JuggyUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I got lucky, package cleared customs examination late last night and is on its way to me. Delivery today or most probably tomorrow.

Delivery today or most probably tomorrow. Received my order, box is quite damaged but the items inside are OK. Either customs treated the parcel very badly or Gunfire used insufficient packaging. I cannot be sure if the gun box was in another box Edited April 25 by JuggyUK gavinkempsell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted April 25 Supporters Share Posted April 25 I'd assume Customs went in ham-fisted hoping that this time they'd be busting the Lord of War, rather than finding more assault-style-toys. Great news that the contents were fine anyway. JuggyUK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
