Ans. Only 1 at a time. Pistol or a rifle

2.Any restriction for high cost Air rifle More than 1000$

Higher or lower...cost is not an issue- just make it sure that it's declared correctly in the invoice. Also, please see to it that the rifle doesn't have a higher FPS. 96% of the time, customs don't do a deal wood test. But if they do, and if the pellet penetrates the wood, they will hold it, and won't release the gun- and then it's treated as a firearm, and falls into Arms Act. They will ask for a gun license, and they might charge you fine around 10-15k.

I got 2 pistols, and 3 rifles imported. I import one every quarter. :)

Hi HH Choudhary, I and my friend are planning to buy two Steyr's and get it in a single shipment to reduce shipment costs. Could you please let me know whether you faced any challenges while importing two weapons in a single package and how you handled them. Also would appreciate if you can send me your invoice so that I can show it to my local custom guy if he withheld's my package. Thanks.

Can you help clarify what would or could be the position taken by customs (from perspective of levying duty etc.) if I were to import an Air Rifle and a Hill Pump (to recharge the PCP) being a member of a rifle club in a single package. The Air rifle would be free of customs levy but would the pump attract levy etc.?

thanks, Neeshant

No duty on pump in the case of a combo like Benjamin Discovery + handpump

see this ...last para...no scope!
http://indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3481

Dominator 1250 has a rated velocity of 1200 fps, which is more than twice that of a match rifle (it's a field rifle). Not sure, but that would most likely fail the deal wood test ( http://www.indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2335 )
