Importing Airgun Parts? Customs?

Post by 6string »

Anybody have experience importing airgun related parts into the USA?
I assume it's no problem.
What about the customs form? How do you describe item?
I'm guessing "parts for sporting goods" is too vague?

Thanks!

I think coming into the country there wouldn't be any issues at all. Leaving the origin country (e.g., the UK) might be more of an issue. I've bought BSA sights from the UK, air cylinders from Germany, and air rifles/pistols from the Netherlands and never had any problems.

Hi Tom,
Thanks. I was hoping it was a relatively uneventful process.

I order parts from England all the time.
Canada, too.
Russia is a problem..

Again, Thank You!
Glad to hear the domestic side is generally not a problem.
Yes, I've heard origin countries, or sometimes shipping companies therein, have issues concerning export.
