[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 5414479, member: 2193"] Not entirely true. Airsoft guns are NOT considered firearms in the eyes of the federal government. This is specifically due to the definition given to a firearm by the Federal government: The term “firearm” is defined in the Gun Control Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Section 921(a)(3), to include (A) any weapon (including a starter gun), which will, or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon. Based on Section 921(a) (3), air guns, because they use compressed air and not an explosive to expel a projectile, do not constitute firearms under Federal law unless they are manufactured with the frames or receivers of an actual firearm. That being said, UPS prohibits the international shipping of firearms. The likely issues are: [LIST=1] [*]How the item was declared on the commercial invoice and how Customs in the Netherlands interpret the information on the invoice [*]Quick search online shows that to own an airsoft gun in Netherlands, the citizen must belong to and obtain a permit from a group called NABV.
