These are: 011-47700282, 011-47700302, 011-47700200 Ext-282. Please ask for Ms. Sheetal (Courier Dept.). As she was in charge of this department till my recent import about One month ago.

I suggest that you call FEDEX your self & inform them tracking number of your parcel. Otherwise you may have to wait for their call for many days. FEDEX people act very fast , upon receiving all proper documentation from you & clear your shipment within 1or 2 working days, if everything is in order.
Hi ,
I intend to buy one Beretta CO2 pellet pistol from pyramid air & understand that they will ship through fedex, Can you please let me know what are the documents required to clear this shipment.

Is rifle club membership mandatory? i read in other posts that people have been demanding a notification wherein it is stated that a membership is a pre requisite for importing. that customs people couldn't show where it was mentioned and cleared the consignment

Are you a club member , then a bonafied letter from your club will solve the purpose. I just recently imported a steyr LP10 three days back without any hassels.
Thanks and Regards,

I am from Gurgaon and presently having membership of Chandigarh Rifle Association.I wanna import 0.177 air rifles (2No's) + 1 0.177 air pistol from pyramid air (Total 3No's) to save shipment cost.It will shipped to my hometown at Gurgaon.

How many guns can we import at a time? Is any clearcut instructions for same.
If shipment is for Gurgaon , the airparcel will be shipped to Delhi Air port or Mumbai airport?
Should I need a letter from Rifle Associaition apart from membership card?

regards

importing .22 is totally prohibited in india, only .177 is allowed to be imported :evil:

i don't think its a good idea to import more than one, cos it'll be difficult for you to convince them that ur the end user or re-seller (import duty is exmp only in case of self sports use).
As such there is no limit to import as long its .177 bore

Thanks Batman. Anyone there who had imported 2-3 guns by post/courier.Please share ur experience. How to get / import a scope (through post/courier) , if bundled with air-rifle from PA ? As , I think, it is a restricted item.
