Importing GBBR magazines

[Diathesis]

Hey all

Just need to clear something up.
Do magazines fall under RIFs? Or are they seen as an accessory/part which do not require a UKARA/defense?


I ask as my GHK CO2 mags have been sitting in customs for the past couple of days with a status of "Pending customs inspection."

Cheers
Paul

Re: Importing GBBR magazines

Can a magazine be mistaken for a gun? Unless it's a gun shaped magazine, you'll be fine

Of course, your only issue may be if customs think they're real mags. However, I expect they're just planning on slapping on the customs charges

Thanks Fizzy!

I had a feeling that'd be the case, though I thought I'd ask as I've never had anything sit in customs for more than a day!

Appreciate the response. (Despite my question being somewhat silly)

UKBA have a 48 hour time window for clearing items . You often find they come out of customs just before that 48 hour window is up

I've had gbb mags spend three or four days in customs before being released. Never had a problem. except the £25 handling fee..

Cheers for the responses guys! Guess my worries were unfounded.

I couldn't find these mags in the UK so had to order abroad. Ordered 6 in total, hopefully I don't get shafted too heavily with fees!
