CBSA is historically known to be very unexplainable of what allows importing. So every time someone imports something or gets seized. Drop a post or a comment.
My buddy bought and crossed the US border to bring in a VFC Navy MP7 GBBR. He paid no import fees or tax and placed a chrono graph paper on the box. The agent asked if he does this as a business and he promptly said no. This was 4 months ago. So maybe itβs possible for someone else?Β

I feel like that's a natural progression of most airsofters in Canada.Β "I bet I can get this cheaper from the US".Β
I've heard a lot of success stories, and a lot of failures too that result in loss.Β We have some great importers here that can usually get whatever you want, CQC Tactical or Andy's Airsoft have both brought things in for me.Β A bit of wait, maybe a small premium, but it always arrives and I don't have to deal with CBSA.
To each their own. I would like to hear more first hand stories either way.
I just received my order of pistols today. Total of 4 hours in customs. 2nd box with rifles is currently held for futher inspection as I type.
Β Tokyo Marui Xtreme full auto, Gold Matches, 4.3's, EMG Stacatto's and a ton of mags and Dr.Black slides. Just breezed through.
Β On the business side there are systems i'm setup in like CARM and my business number is tied to the shipping company. As a player its way harder and my best recommendation is UPS express. (I don't think many Hong Kong retailers are shipping EMS anymore because of shipping issues).
