Seriously man. Don't bother with importation. Much more money than what you could get away with spending.

Get age verified, get on the classifieds forum, and wait for a Gen 3 or really good Gen2+ to pop up for sale and grab it. I only use my PBS-14 at MilSim events, and the odd time on a night hike with the girlfriend, and even with the hole it left in my wallet I still think it's worth every penny spent.

Plus, if/when MilSim/night vision/airsoft isn't your thing anymore, you can sell it for essentially the price you paid for it and make pretty much all your money back. Good night vision doesn't really depreciate in value over time, so it's almost like having a lifetime money-back guarantee.

Food for thought.
