Dear Sir/Madam
Thank you for your recent e-mail concerning the above subject.
As paintball markers do not deliver lethal force, their import is not
controlled by HM Customs & Excise. You may wish to speak to your local
Police to obtain information on appropriate storage/usage to avoid theft and
misuse.
Please see our website www.hmce.gov.uk, forms & public notice 1 A Customs
guide for travellers entering the UK. You are entitled to £145 worth of all
other goods including gifts and souvenirs but only if you travel with the
goods and do not plan to sell them. If you bring something in worth more
than the limit of £145, you will have to pay charges on the full value, not
just on the value above £145. If you are travelling as a family or group,
you cannot pool your individual allowances towards an item worth more than
the limit. You will have to pay charges on the full value of the item.
