Is it legal to bring plate carriers to UK by airplane?

[KevinCao]

I'm an international student in Durham Uni, im currently doing HKP impression, is it against the UK law to bring my HKP loadouts in my check-in luggages to UK? I'm landing at Gatwick Airport London.

The plate carrier and most of the pouches im using right now is genuein made by OPS(but without any plates or bullet proof layers), and the holster is geneuin safariland 6005, and a replica FAST helmet, made by plastic. Those are the main stuff im concerned with, please help me out. I'm really worried about getting denied at the UK customs, that means i might lost all my gadgets and even my student visa.

Nothing illegal about it. I used to have a Hong Kong school friend who brought his rig over in his hold luggage.

 

theoretically you could bring it in your carry on, but it would raise eyebrows and not be worth the hassle.
