In big letters:

"GUN, BOMB, ANTHRAX, BOOM, KILL, RIFLE, PISTOL, KNIFE, DEATH, KILL, KILL, KILL. - KEVIN BURTON"

Canadian customs love seeing that!

In a word... no.

The airsoft parts qualify as a replica firearm- which is 100% banned for import.

It doesn't matter if it is a complete Thompson or just parts, the upper and lower receivers are illegal.

Unless the receiver/frame is made of clear plastic it will be seized and destroyed. The person who is to receive it could face a fine or even jail time if it is not their first offence.

There is nothing you could put on a customs form that would allow it to go through. Words like "non-firing", "replica", or especially "airsoft" will set off all the sirens in the customs department.

Your only silm chance is to send it in pieces and use a description other than airsoft parts- however doing so and getting caught would result in a stiffer penalty than labelling it as what it actually is (this is NOT recommended).

You could try labelling it as a "paintball marker"- but they will most likely inspect it anyway (especially if the box is rather large) and seize it.

In 2006 I was caught trying to import a spring airsoft Thompson (broken down to fit in a smaller box). I received a letter from the Prohibited Importations Unit stating that I had attempted to import "components for a replica firearm".

I had the option to request a trial, or allow the Thompson to be destroyed. Shipping it back to it's point of origin required a "Prohibited Devices Export Permit" as the item was already within the borders of Canada. These are only provided to someone with a business licence, and you must use a Canada Customs approved carrier. Needless to say option 3 was no option at all.

My advice- don't do it.
