heya guys, im erwin, 20 years old, from indonesia, im moving to toronto in less than a month.

soo, im thinking to bring along my BDUs, boots, vests, helmets, googles, and maybe my scopes too, do you think it will be a problem at the airport?

and i heard that getting into airsoftgun is really difficult around this time in canada. dunno, its just im a newcomer and i dont want to get into any trouble, so if you guys have some advice or anything please let me know.

if some of you guys have msn and dont mind to chat with me about airsoft, please let me know your address via PM, coz i think i want to know more about airsoftgun in canada, especially about what to do & what not to do.

will try to get my age verified as soon as i get there, and sorry if my english is kinda messy

thanks

None of that equipment should be a problem. The only things that would cause problems are guns or metal receivers/restricted length handgun barrels, I believe.

Ohhh poor you ! You'll move from a place where you can import everything you want for a good price to a country where you buy one AEG for the price of two.

That shouldn't be a problem. I went from London to Japan, then to Australia (strict customs) and then from Australia to the States where my bags were x-rayed to Canada. All through it they never questioned my knives, boots, bdu's, vest, m16 metal foregrip (cylindrical piece of metal with rails on it) and a bag of bb's.

You should be good.

I have flown a few times in country and they always get weird about my bbs and they did the guys I was flying with, but the bbs were in our carry on.

Sorry for the thread jack,
welcome and what part of our great nation are you going to be settling in.

The only iffy thing you listed were your sights/scopes. It's most likely you and everything will enter the country just fine, but I've heard stories of people ordering various sights from out of country only to have customs seize them.

But unless you get a real asshole searching your stuff, you'll be fine.
