    Shipping a gun to Netherlands

    Anyone sent a gun to the Netherlands recently ?

    I'm having trouble finding a company that will ship an air rifle there, I've spoken to two Parcelforce enqiry people and their supervisor, all say they won't ship an air rifle to the Netherlands, even sub 12ftlb ones.

    I think there is at least one AGF member in the Netherlands who buys rifles in Britain; not sure if that forum is up & running yet though.....

    Hi Dave,

    Heard about trouble shipping PCP´s because of pressure tubes/bottles, did you mention it´s a springer?
    I know quite some guys that had an AR sent over from the UK,
    and some with Parcelforce. I know some of them had it sent by Amtrak (but heard you have to open an account with them?). I´ll ask around a bit and let you know.

    BAR - Used to ship abroad, you pay them for postage and one of thier hard gun cases and they do all the paperwork for you and send off the rifle - this was some months ago though!!

    If you go to the post office and hand it in there they will ship it.
    Declare it as a "UK and Dutch legal air rifle. DTI ruling - no export license required".

    (assuming no Dutch license required either. If there is you will need an Export Cert).

    regards
