Ben1551 0 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 A friend of mine wants to import a scope in from USA (to the UK), apparently it's much cheaper from there but he's not sure if you need a permit to do so? It will be for a big rifle but becuse it is not a weapon or explosive I don't see why he'll need one but I don't want to go and say this, then find out the scope has been seized by customs! Any help would be much appreciated! Many thanks, Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geordieh 74 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 What scope does he want if it is military spec he cannot import if it is bog standard hunting scope no problems 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben1551 0 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I don't know exactly what scope it is, doubt it's military grade as he's an older chap who lives on a farm but you never know. I will see him monday and find out. Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RemyBolt 420 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 You'll have to factor in Import Taxes, so the price could end up being about the same. You'll not need a permit to import a scope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben1551 0 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 He's probably not considered that. The scope is made by Nightforce if it makes a difference. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RemyBolt 420 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 That'll be fine. Just check the import duties and the alike. Then pop it over. If it's buy one get one free, I'll PM you the address for the second one haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Stott 202 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I think you might have to pay VAT this end as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
