Planning to bring home a cool airsoft rifle and pistol from Hong Kong to Kolkata? These are just like the toy guns kids love at fairs, but made from metal. They’re completely safe and not real weapons, of course. How can I go about importing them?

Importing airsoft rifles and pistols into India is illegal. The Arms Act, 1959 defines firearms broadly and airsoft guns fall under this definition. Possessing them without a license is a serious offense punishable by law.
