Import of Air Gun Magazine

Post by Ganesh TT » Wed Aug 28, 2013 6:53 pm

Hi IFGians

Im planning to import a spare magazine for my Co2 Air pistol through online (Pyramidair.com)
Is there any legal problems for a non rifle club member / person to import Co2 Magazine through online.
Pls clarify...
Thanks

Import of magazine is not allowed, I myself had ran into trouble by ordering additional magazine along with airgun, was heavily penalised. Try procuring through www.relishsports.com that might be helpful.

do not see any problems. with customs its not that expansive and if gets hold up not a big lose.

this is my advice for myself i would go for it. as it should not be a problem, if hold up at customs, no big issues.

The import of magazine is NOT allowed. I had ordered it and was held up at the customs had to go all the way to Delhi persuaded them that since this is my first offence with the customs and it was out of negligence rather than deliberate considering my written application the Dy Comm. did release the magazine but with a fine of 25k INR for just two magazines, had no other option left but to pay since my airgun was also a part of the shipment. The guy at the FEDEX also said to me importing of magazine and parts related to gun are generally confiscated. Importing the magazine would be like taking up lot of chances of it being confiscated according to my understanding and experience the chances of magazine slipping out of customs is very bleak.

I had imported two extra mags with a .177 marauder in 2010 and the duty Delhi customs levied was Rs 1500/- Again I imported 3 extra msgs for my Crosman 357 along with stuff like cleaning oil and loctite. They charged some duty. This was again in 2011. Things have changed so much in these 2-3 years.
