One thing I would check is the power of the gun - the UK classification of "air rifle" is significantly different to many other countries - as such, many guns sold as airsoft guns in other countries are classed as air rifles here, and importing one of these is highly illegal, and you will go to jail if you try to. Basically anything shooting above 450 FPS, but as FPS quotes vary, you'll need to find out the spring energy of the gun you're importing.
what about doing it in pieces?
