So I have a big possibility of making a purchase of an airsoft pistol from an international dealer, specifically in Hong Kong. Even after the item(s) is(are) shipped and arrive in the States, could they potentially be intercepted by US Customs and denied to be delivered to me? If not, I've heard about import tariffs/taxes, will I likely have to pay import tax and if I do, when will I pay it?

In short, share your experience with international dealers and US Customs, if you have any.

My Glock came through fine, with limited trademarks from RedWolfAirsoft. You can request that they cover them with tape or wax. The orange tips that are painted on the Glocks from RedWolf can literally be rubbed off in seconds with just your thumb. I did not have to pay any import tax. I was told that that was just some European places and Canadia. Not sure, though.

How much do you suppose shipping will be for a pistol, 2 mags, and a SERPA holster?

News: I ordered a KJ Works Glock 32C, two magazines, and a Blackhawk SERPA holster for Glock compact models.

Shipping was, yeah, about $33 plus $7.40 credit card fee. UPS 7 days or less, which is funny because ASGI usually gets the package here in 7 or 8 days, and that's in California...this is Hong Kong...

I will keep you guys posted on the Glock and whether or not I'd recommend www.wgcshop.com

So far the site is great but I'll wait until the customer service/package handling portion comes through bounce
