Getting my equipment into the country

[electriko]

Hi guys, I need some advice from anyone who might know.
I have all my paintball equipment in Portugal, as I recently moved in.
Do you think there will be any problems with customs, if I have a friend shipping me the equipment (which includes the gun) by post? Will I have to pay any fee or something like that?

Thanks in advance.

You should have no fee worries as Portugal is in the EU, so not import VAT.
(If not then it would be a matter of making sure it was apparanet that he is sending on your property)

The only issues would be if a cylinder is included - in which case it needs to be empty (and the regulator off to avoid any current issues that are going on in the post), and if the gun is not speedball like then there are potential RIF issues (which just depend on the person looking at it.

Pretty much no issue

Tks, The cylinder is already expired,so I'll buy a new one here.
The gun is a red DM9 , so not similar to a real gun.
Probably will try to get the equipment here.
