Please people , let me know your toughts about it |
You can't import it because it's out of stock :P
But seriously, a gun above 366fps should be okay HOWEVER, be careful about "shop upgrades:" customs usually refers to the manufacturer's published rating as a reference; the gun you linked appears to be "tuned" by EHobby. This can be problematic.
Unfortunately Customs isn't black and white, one agent may let something pass and another would stop it. Its then up to you to make the case and prove it's legal. This can also happen with a gun that is over 366fps which should be perfectly legal to import.
A perfect example of this is a recent "revision" of rules surrounding folding knives: CBSA has now "decided" that any folding knife with a thumb assist and/or which can be opened with a flick of the wrist (i.e., the vast majority of folding knives) are now considered the same as an automatic knife (spring assisted, etc) and therefor illegal to import. This is the same pocket knives sold at Canadian Tire, Walmart and LaCordée for decades.
So just because something is legal to import doesn't guarantee customs won't try challenging you on it. That's the burden of importing.
