how to get airsoft guns from HK back home?
Hey guys, im going to HK in november, havent been back in ages. Im thinking while im there i could buy a nice arsenal of airsoft guns and bring them back for my collection. Anyone familiar with rules and regulations? I know i wnot be able to bring them back in my luggage right? you guys know how hard/easy it is to ship them back? How much would that cost me? Is it even worth it?
Thanks for any help/ideas.
BTW, while on topic, any other toys i need to make sure i buy when im in HK? Any cool places i should try to visit? It's been a while so im not up to date on whats there anymore.

u can bring them over.... but if u get stopped in customs they will take them away from you if they have tradmarks on them.... thats my understanding... u might be able to go to redwolf in HK and have them ship it home for u?

Just send it back to the U.S. by surface shipping. That's what I do when I get some airsoft guns from Japan. Works for me everytime.

The overseas airport security isn't a joke. I had some trouble bringing stuff over from Japan. They X-rayed my baggage when I checked in at Narita and also when I landed at SFO. The U.S. Customs officers were pretty uptight until I pull out my badge and L.E.O. ID to calm things down.

so to the guys who ship guns back from japan. did you have to remove the trademarks and stuff? thats the most important part to me. i want all the logo/brand goodness to be intact for my collection.
