Airsoft Import Rules in Hong Kong: How We Handle It

Experts in reliable airsoft shipping to Hong Kong.

Although airsoft laws in Hong Kong and Taiwan differ slightly, their core regulation is similar: both rely on muzzle energy limits as the legal benchmark. In Taiwan, the legal threshold is 20 J/cm² (measured using 0.2g BBs), while Hong Kong restricts airsoft replicas to below 2 joules.

That said, due to long-standing production and distribution links between Taiwan and Hong Kong, most Taiwan-made airsoft guns are already tuned below 2J, typically around 0.8 to 1.6J, accounting for gas pressure variations in different climates.

Like Taiwan, Hong Kong does not impose complex gun shape or appearance restrictions, making it one of the easier destinations for airsoft logistics. And because M&W has a dedicated base in Hong Kong, we can provide smoother, faster service for both businesses and individual buyers worldwide.

Despite the geographic proximity and frequent trade flow, there are still key shipping details to note. To ensure smooth customs clearance, we:

• Attach product catalog images

• Provide documented muzzle velocity test results

• Include clear proof of purchase

These are all handled before shipping, and mostly we work directly with sellers to secure the necessary documents. As long as the items comply with Hong Kong’s legal standards, shipments typically go through without issues.

⚠️ Reality Check 

Even if your replica meets local joule limits and looks fully compliant on paper, customs clearance can still be unpredictable. 

Delays, inspections, or even temporary holds are common for airsoft shipments. 

➡️ Always prepare full documents and declare items accurately to reduce risks.

⚠️ One additional reminder:

Due to evolving international sensitivities, particularly since 2022, shipments destined for Hong Kong should avoid outer packaging that includes "R.O.C." (Republic of China) markings. We take extra care to prevent unnecessary delays or delivery failures.

Whether you're a retailer combining orders from multiple suppliers, or a player looking to buy a rare item off Taiwan’s local auction platforms, we're here to simplify the process, from inspection and documentation to final delivery.
