Should we import any scope for air rifle ?

[vanlalthakima]

I believe there can be different interpretation regarding this query, I will appreciate if anyone can clarify it with the authorities:

1. The rifle scope alone : is covered under Chapter 90 (Under 9013) and Restricted
2. The Rifle Scope if mounted or Presented with the gun : is covered under Chapter 93 (Under 9304) and It seems it can be imported along with a .177 bore airgun.

(However, import of 0.177 bore air guns and air pistols will be free for shooters registered with Rifle Clubs or District/State/ National Rifles Association . )
