AEP batteries I can source., I had a few once. EBB won't cut it for me, & GBB has its share of upkeep.
Unlucky dude you'll need to visit the place to retrieve your aep with a lawyer which I would not recommend you as it will cost you around the same price as your gun maybe moreyogarjuna wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 12:03 pmI’m Yogesh from Chennai. I have ordered an Electric Airsoft toy gun(AGF) made of plastic worth Rs.3000 (Only 1 quantity) from South Korean E-commerce website named GMARKET on 25th of September. When it reached Chennai the product showed ‘Item Held By Customs’. When I contacted the customs officials, they said airsoft is prohibited according to Indian Arms Rule and is treated as Firearms so it will not be returned to me. Further a Show Cause Notice will be issued to you stating to pay penalty. But I don't think the item that I ordered comes under imitation of firearms since it is just a plastic toy gun with orange tip and has less than 0.12 joule(140fps) energy. The customs officials have misunderstood between a firearm & a toy gun and also it doesn't even attract license to have the toy gun. What shall I do when the show cause notice arrives to me and when will they issue the SCN?...It's been more than 10 days since the customs confiscated my airsoft package.
I contacted few lawyers and consulted them but their fees was 25000 which is more than 8 times the price of the gun. That's why I myself took care of it but had to pay 100% customs duty along with delivery charge. But honestly I'm a bit unsatisfied with the muzzle velocity(140-150 fps) of this gun which is very much low when compared to good quality metal ones with 350-400 fps. Is there any way to buy and import a good airsoft electric gun(AEG) without any hassle with indian customs? What kind of(list of) documents will be necessary to import one?Aryan Raj wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 12:27 amUnlucky dude you'll need to visit the place to retrieve your aep with a lawyer which I would not recommend you as it will cost you around the same price as your gun maybe moreyogarjuna wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 12:03 pmI’m Yogesh from Chennai.
