Hi all, looking at IMA USA at present and thinking about a restoration piece.
They ship international, and the item is in the UK as section 58.

What complications would I expect to meet if I were to purchase from the USA ?

Thanks in advance

No problems at all, as long as you dont mind the wait this end. I have purchased 3 guns from them, all very well packed.

Hi thanks for the response.
Is there a customs hit our end ?

From memory the Duty is about 1% VAT should be 5% (antique rate) and the Post Office charge of about £9 for collection the VAT.

I've bought some stuff from them, last was a Martini Enfield bayonet and all was fine. They seem well set up for international ordering unlike many US companies.

I believe you have seen some of my guns from IMA when you belonged to the same club as me.
