Bringing airsoft over from HongKong. -Nevermind.

[Identity]

Hey guys,
I'm planning to go to HongKong this coming Christmas. And hopefully, If possible I want to bring back a UNCompany Custom gun. Most likely a UN Custom Black AK47.
I was wondering how will I be able to bring that back into Canada.

I've read this post http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=6099
And it did not explain anything about how to import airsoft from overseas.
I know you must sign a firearm declaration form but I wouldn't know how to when I'm in Hongkong and I go through the border entering Canada. How do I present these papers?

And what does the gun need to be kept in?
Will customs seize it? Or can I show them the papers before they seize it?

I'm asking these questions because it is going to be my first time going to HongKong and I want to bring back a airsoft gun since it is so much cheaper than buying from here.

All positive/helpful input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

No, that's not the case at all. There is no declaration to permit airsoft guns into the country, they can only be imported by a business with the appropriate license.

That thread is relating to air travel inside Canada, where there is no customs issues - it has nothing to do with international travel. Bringing airsoft in your luggage from overseas will have it seized and land yourself in a shitstorm at the airport. Don't even thinking about it.

Yes, anywhere to Canada.

And, you can still get the guns, you just have to get it special ordered through a retailer like ASCA.

After three years, still haven't picked up on that? :sad:

If it's crossing the border - in a box or in your luggage - the CBSA is involved, and you have to play by their rules and their regulations, and they are not kind towards airsoft (seeing as it's illegal to import without a permit).

If you want a custom gun, ask a retailer. We might be able to import it for you if we do an UNCompany order sometime.

Can also PM Whoha (Mark Anderson), he does orders from UNcompany as well.
