Customs doesn't care. If they see that it's an airsoft gun, they have every right to seize the item. It's clearly outlined in the list of prohibited importation guidelines.

The company would be stupid to offer any kind of money-back guarantee in the event of seizure when shipping items to Canada. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter what the sender declares the item as. They could put "toy", "hobby item", "model toy", "display model", "sporting goods", whatever the case may be, but the moment an officer opens the package, they'll see an AIRSOFT GUN.

I label all of my imports as toys... and about 90% of those packages get opened by customs. I even get stuff seized that AREN'T on the list of prohibited goods... imagine how well that'll go for items that ARE prohibited.
