Components to NI .

[MTheaded but happy]

Hopefully someone will be able to clarify , my understanding is that all constituent parts of a rifle are restricted items and therefore cannot be posted to NI .
An SD member is in need of a trigger for a rifle , I have one which I would willingly gift but fear it would be illegal to mail .
Am I correct in my understanding ?

 

[Sika98k]

I’m no expert but a trigger is not a pressure bearing part and thus not licenseable. Nor is a stock and these are regularly posted without restriction. Until of course you fall foul of some jobsworthy in the Post Office .
Actually now that I recall I have had a trigger for a Mauser and two Winchester style safeties posted to me without any problem. All on separate occasions.

I would fully research it , you might need to rfd transfer it.

I think they wanted to put magazines on ticket at one stage,in fact they may well be.


Legacy of 30 odd years of violence I suppose.

I have recently posted items to NI and the PO fill in the customs declaration form/requirements while your there, simply's, you just state, item, value, your name and address etc.

Hmmm.
NI was still part of the UK last time I looked out the window and there is no problem ordering or receiving a replacement trigger nor ahem, “copper fittings”.
That being so - why oh why do you/PO fill in customs declaration forms?

surly that was sent to southern ireland. NI is part of the U.K. and has post codes, Souther Ireland does not.

Northern Ireland isn't part of the U.K.
NI is in a bit of an odd position being neither fish nor fowl. NI is part of GB but is still in the EU.

I have sent cartridge cases to NI in the past and a quick email to the PSNI Firearms Licensing people got an email back saying these could be sent without them having concern. This I printed out and included in the package. Si there's a possible way ahead?

 

[Elshad]

Controlled component parts in NI are the same as in GB with the addition of magazines, which are also controlled

It was explained that NI is in the EU and that a declaration form was required, nothing sinister just good old red tape.

Soon as the lady behind the desk saw a BT23 post code out came the paperwork, nothing complicated and the customer received the item within three days.

So for clarification I've taken your suggestion and have emailed both PSNI Firearms and BASC and I shall post their replies when received for reference .
Cheers all

It was explained incorrectly as NI is NOT in the EU!
However, do read on (from the Govt. website)…..

Is Northern Ireland in the EU?​

No. Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK left the EU on 31 January 2020. However, under the terms of the EU-UK agreements, special arrangements apply in Northern Ireland. Under the Windsor Framework, Northern Ireland remains aligned with EU single market rules for goods and therefore maintains access to this market.

The EU single market rests on ‘four freedoms’: free movement of goods, capital, services, and people. Northern Ireland maintains alignment with, and access to the EU single market for goods. However, it is not part of the EU single market for services, for example, and only certain areas of EU law apply in Northern Ireland: on goods, SPS measures, agricultural production and marketing, VAT and excise on goods, state aid rules, and the single electricity market. The EU customs code applies to goods entering Northern Ireland, but NI remains part of the UK customs territory and can participate in its free trade agreements.”.

Sooo, in summary…
If you live in NI you are a citizen of the UK just like those who live in London, Glasgow and that welsh place and are defo not members of the EU but for trade we in NI still have a kinda deal with the EU unless you are transiting goods to Ireland (NB not Northern Ireland) which is still part of the EU and their citizens are members of the EU unlike those who live in London, Glasgow and that welsh place, unless of course they are Irish and have a Passport to prove it. Good, glad that’s sorted then…
Confused? You wanna try living here!

That made me laugh - the postcode-less bits must have a very large pigeon hole in the sorting office….

You sir are wrong, we use sterling not Euro therefore we are still very much part of the UK

1. NI isn’t part of GB , GB only refers to the island of Scotland, England and Wales.
2. NI is part of the Uk
3. NI isn’t in the EU
