if you phone the shop you are buying the marker from and ask them to write gift on the package and not sporting goods, if the package has gift wrote on you will get off paying the customs duty they charge, because anything you buy over the value of £18 is subject to customs import duty charge, if the package has sporting goods/paintball marker on the package you will pay import duty, also they will contact you and you will have you provide proof of the velocity of the marker before they release it from customs....hope this helps
happened to me twice before a guy told me to ask the shop to write on the package GIFT
now i order from the america all the time with no problems at all

That might not actually work tho....
They cant check every package, so maybe BMW's werent checked...but...if you buy something, have teh receipt/invoice sent airmail, away from teh package itself...also...make sure its actually insured to teh value of teh gat, but hopefully not written on teh outside...dont use UPS if you can help it, USPS Global Express is good...where are you buying from?

just so you know after fee's and tax it normaly comes to about 30% of the cost. one way is to see if they will send the receipt out seperately and ask if theyd send it as a warenty repair. but its a risk for both the buyer and seller. its worth budgeting in the import tax that way if you get hit its ok if you dont you can get a nice hopper with the money you saved. ive bought i few things and appart from a massive box of stuff that took about 4 months to get here, its been great, apart from being stung with import tax a couple of times.
