The rules in detail
Classification
Unclear
Fiji's Arms and Ammunition framework controls arms and ammunition. Fiji firearms safety materials state that airguns, including soft airguns, are controlled by the Arms Act.
Age rule
18+
Airgun use requires either a Fiji Firearms Licence or immediate supervision by a firearms licence holder; use 18+ licence-holder baseline pending exact licence age confirmation.
Possession
Licence required
Anyone may use an airgun only if they hold a Fiji Firearms Licence or are under the immediate supervision of a firearms licence holder. Airguns are not toys and are controlled.
Transfer / sale
Variable
Purchase, sale, acquisition, importation, and exportation of arms/ammunition are regulated. Importing arms or ammunition without an import licence is an offence.
Transport
Variable
Transport only with licence/permit support, unloaded and secured. Do not use or display airguns where they may be mistaken for real firearms.

Visitor procedure
Do not import an airgun without a Fiji Police permit/import licence and customs declaration. Fiji Revenue and Customs says firearms are restricted imports requiring Fiji Police Force permits and all firearms/weapons must be declared on arrival.
