Does RedWolf Airsoft Ship to Canada
RedWolf Airsoft does ship to Canada — and for airsoft enthusiasts north of the border, that's good news. Based in Hong Kong, RedWolf is one of the largest airsoft retailers in the world, shipping daily to over 40 countries. Canadian orders are very much part of their operation.
That said, not every product on their site can legally make it through Canadian customs. Canadian law draws a firm line based on muzzle velocity: an airsoft gun must shoot faster than 366 feet per second (fps) using a standard 0.20g BB to enter the country. Anything slower is classified as a replica firearm, and importing one without a special permit — which most buyers simply cannot get — is not allowed. To take the guesswork out of it, RedWolf flags eligible products with a "CANADA COMPLIANT" icon directly on their website. Accessories like magazines, scopes, and tactical gear face no such restrictions and can be ordered freely.
Shipping Options to Canada
So your order is Canada-compliant — now, how fast can you get it? RedWolf offers several shipping methods, and the choice usually comes down to budget versus wait time.
The quickest route is Express shipping through carriers like UPS, FedEx, DHL, or EMS, with most North American packages arriving in 5 to 10 days. If you're not in a rush, Registered Airmail or Air Parcel cuts the cost considerably — though delivery stretches to 7 to 20 days. For items like gas and batteries, Surface Mail is available, but expect a wait of 60 to 90 days.
RedWolf ships within 24 hours on business days, so weekend orders go out the following Monday. Costs vary by weight, size, and your location in Canada — the exact figure shows up at checkout. Keep an eye out for the free shipping icon on select product pages, where economy delivery kicks in at no extra charge.
Customs Costs and Duties
Once your package crosses the border, expect to pay Canadian taxes on top of what you already paid at checkout. In Ontario, that means 13% HST; in the Maritime provinces, 15%. The rest of Canada pays 5% GST. These apply regardless of what's in the box.
Customs duties are a separate matter. Depending on how your item is classified, they can run anywhere from 0% to around 18% — and that classification isn't always predictable. Your carrier will also tack on a brokerage fee for handling the paperwork, plus a disbursement fee of roughly 2.5% for paying the duties on your behalf.
Canada's de minimis threshold sits at just $20 CAD, so almost any order will attract at least taxes. None of these costs appear at checkout — they land at your door. Budget for them ahead of time, and you won't be caught off guard when the courier asks for payment before handing over your package.
Canadian Law and Age Rules
Airsoft guns imported into Canada must shoot between 366 and 500 fps using a 0.20g BB. Below that threshold, a gun is classified as a replica firearm — illegal to import without a special licence almost no one can obtain. Above 500 fps, producing more than 5.7 joules of energy, it becomes a regulated firearm requiring proper licensing. All airsoft guns sold here must also carry a permanent orange tip of at least one centimetre. Silencers and suppressors are banned outright and will be removed before any order ships.
In Ontario and most provinces, you must be 18 to purchase an airsoft gun — though there's no federal minimum age to play the sport. Fields set their own rules; some welcome players as young as 11 with adult supervision. Most experts suggest 15 to 16 as a reasonable age for supervised play.
