Laws regarding airsoft differ quite a lot from state to state. This page is listing all the regulations we put in place for the United States.

General Precaution

• Ordering an airsoft gun is only possible if you are 18 years or older. After placing your order you will get instructions on how to prove your age.
• All airsoft guns sold in the US have an orange tip mounted at the end of the barrel to comply with federal regulations.

Exempted Cities

We are not sending airsoft guns to certain cities. You will not be able to check out and select an address in these cities:

• San Francisco
• Chicago
• New York City
• Atlantic City

California

Some postal codes in California are blocked from ordering, as airsoft guns are strictly regulated in this area.

As the law specifies a 6mm caliber, Full Thrust products are blocked.

Columbia

As Columbia is restricting the sale of airsoft guns with BBs in excess of .18 inches in diameter, we blocked this area for purchasing airsoft guns.

Delaware

In order to use the most defensible interpretation of BB, we blocked Full Thrust products for the state of Delaware.

Hawaii

Hawaii prohibits any person, including licensed manufacturers, licensed importers, and licensed dealers, from possessing, selling, gifting, or delivering electric guns. “Electric gun” is defined under state law to mean “any portable device that is electrically operated to project a missile or electromotive force.”

Therefore we are restricting the sales of electric guns.

Illinois

Air guns do not fall under the category of firearms but big bore air guns that use .18 caliber or higher ammunition must have a velocity below 700 feet per second (FPS).

Customers from Illinois will get contacted by us if by accident they are purchasing airsoft guns that infringe the limit of 700 fps.

Kansas

In order to use the most defensible interpretation of BB, we blocked Full Thrust products for the state of Kansas.

Rhode Island

Unfortunately, we cannot ship airsoft guns to Rhode Island.

Rhode Island defines all non-powder guns as firearms, ensuring that felons and other persons prohibited from possessing firearms are similarly barred from possessing dangerous non-powder guns.

Rhode Island considers by State Law, all Non-powder guns as “Firearms” as defined under State Statutes.

Customs is a state authority, responsible for the safe flow of goods entering and exiting a country. Based on the legislation, they are able to seize packages or charge Customs/Import/ VAT fees, according to the current regulations.

As a general rule, customers are responsible for their orders, as they are the importer of record.

We cannot influence the parcel’s duration or the result, nor can we interfere. It is best if you become familiar with the import restrictions, applicable laws, or other regulations which apply to the items, before ordering. If you need additional documents, we will be of course happy to assist.

Charges imposed by Customs are paid to the state and not to us; therefore we cannot refund them. The amount charged and cases where such fees are applied to vary from country to country, which is why we kindly ask our customers to contact their local authorities, to get detailed and up-to-date information.

UK orders – specific information

Age Verification – UKARA

To receive airsoft guns in the UK, you need to be over 18 years old and have a UKARA membership. With the process of Age Verification, we aim to make sure that you fulfill these two requests.

You can find more information about the UKARA membership here: http://ukara.org.uk/

What to expect after placing your order

Once you have placed your order, we will contact you for your UKARA details.

The information needs to be sent from the same e-mail address you used to place the order, and the name on the UKARA membership has to match the recipient’s name.

Once the age is verified, your order will go in “preparing for UK Export”, meaning the UKARA number is being added to your package, in order to avoid Customs issues.

The next steps will be the status “Preparing Package”, which means the order is about to be shipped and completed – the order was sent out and you will automatically receive the tracking number.

Customs Inspections and delays

Right now, there can be even several weeks of customs delays. Novritsch adds all the necessary paperwork to your package.

In cases where orders are seized or delayed, we strongly recommend contacting them directly and checking if there is anything additional they need. The recipient is responsible for being in contact with their local authorities and cooperating with any eventual inspection. We cannot influence its duration or the result, nor can we interfere.

It is best if you become familiar with the import restrictions, applicable laws, or other regulations which apply to the items, before ordering. If you need additional documents, we will be of course happy to assist.

Shipping takes too long?

If the shipping takes too long and you suspect the package has been lost during shipping, please contact us and tell us about it.

We will then start an inquiry with the shipping provider, which takes a minimum of 12 business days. During this period, we, as well as our colleagues at the warehouse, are cooperating with the shipping provider to find the package.

Please note that packages that are with Customs are not considered lost – the Customs procedure mentioned above applies.
