Question by Stevie: Is an import licence needed?
Hi
I want to import radio controlled helicopters from China.
However, my supplier has asked me to check if I need a radio controlled import licence - how would I find out?
Many thanks
TJ

If you're wanting to buy them to resell, you're talking several thousand.
I think you're lumping a couple of things together: an import license and a license to operate r/c aircraft.
You might have better luck contacting your local or national businessmen's association to find out what you need to import.

A lot will depend on what sort of quantity you are thinking of buying. (Are you in the USA or the UK?) In the UK you need to be VAT registered to bring items through customs. It can be easier to use a logistics company, who then handle all the customs issues.
