Important Notice for U.S. Orders (UPS Only)
U.S. Shipping & Compliance Announcement
Due to the suspension of Taiwan Post Airmail and EMS services to the United States, UPS is currently the only available shipping method for all U.S. orders.
To ensure smooth order processing and delivery, please read the following notice carefully. This announcement provides U.S. customers with detailed instructions and requirements for UPS shipments.
1. U.S. Airsoft Gun Regulation (SB199)
If you are purchasing a complete airsoft gun, SB199 Compliance Processing Service is mandatory in accordance with U.S. regulations. Please select the correct service type based on your order (Pistol / Non-Pistol).
SB199 compliance processing includes:
- Install a compliant orange muzzle tip (Orange Tip)
- Covering all trademarks before shipment
- Applying fluorescent tape to designated areas of the airsoft gun
These requirements are strictly enforced by U.S. Customs.
If the SB199 compliance service is not added at checkout, we will contact you by email and request the processing fee via PayPal. To avoid shipment delays, please make sure to add the correct service when placing your order.
2. Shipping Method for U.S. Orders (UPS Only)
Regardless of whether your order contains airsoft guns or parts, all shipments to the United States must be sent via UPS.
Do NOT select EMS or Airmail
- Orders with incorrect shipping methods will be cancelled
- Such cancellations are considered non-valid cancellations
- A 10% cancellation handling fee will be charged according to our Store Policy
Please double-check your shipping method before placing the order to avoid unnecessary fees or delays.
3. Duties, Taxes & Import Fees
- All import duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees in the United States are the sole responsibility of the buyer
- If a shipment is returned due to reasons not caused by AST (e.g. refusal to pay import duties), the case will be handled according to our Store Policy
Sincerely,
AST Taiwan / Eason H.
