Are Sex Dolls Legal in my Country? Importing a Sex Doll
Firstly, let us say, that any doll that looks childlike, or represents or impersonates children will never be sold by Silicone Lovers. The dolls that we supply within the “petite” range depict fully-developed women and display mature/womanly features so as not to be perceived in any way as children. We take the legality of sex dolls seriously, and so should you...
The short of it: Sex dolls are legal, they're absolutely fine, there is nothing wrong or illegal about them, provided they are not childlike. The rules that define "childlike" differ from country to country, so it is best to check out guidance below if you are unsure.
In strict religious countries (Countries in the Middle East and some countries in Africa for example) sex dolls are banned altogether (tragic we know!).
In many countries they are completely fine, provided they meet criteria that ensures they are not childlike. Australia, Norway and United Kingdom, for example, have height guidance on dolls with small breasts, which often means no mini-dolls or extra petite dolls allowed unless they have huge boobs and big curvy hips. If in doubt, always jump on our live chat and ask about the specific doll you are interested in. Australia has further rules, not just on height, but on breast size, technically an A-cup breast size is considered too small.
Keep in mind if you’re trying to order a doll that is exactly the minimum height guidance your country allows, your doll is more likely to attract attention. In the UK, for example, 140cm is the estimated guidance for minimum height, however, we often recommend you order above this height, preferably 150cm and above to totally clear all hurdles without issue – especially important if it is a petite doll with a cute face or small breasts.
At Silicone Lovers, we manually check every order and if we suspect there could be issues with your order, we'll flag it with you personally before we begin production. We don't want to endanger our customers, and we also don't want to endanger our business, not to mention the moral standpoint.
So, if you are wondering about your country's rules, take a look at the chart below. It should go without saying that any of the countries marked "Legal" are referring to sex dolls that do not resemble children. It should also go without saying, that regardless of legality, Silicone Lovers do not sell dolls that resemble children, ever.
Countries that are marked as "Illegal" will not allow the importation of sex dolls.
Countries that are marked “Legal” should be OK to import any doll we sell. However, pay close attention to the countries such as Australia, the UK & Norway that have minimum height requirements or breasts size.
Keep in mind torso dolls are generally okay, even though the UK has an estimated minimum height recommendation of 140cm, and torso doll are often much smaller, if the torso resembles a fully grown adult woman, then it is fine.
All the seriousness aside, it's good to be cautious, but if you buy from Silicone Lovers, we wouldn't put you at risk anyway... Still unsure? Give us a shout and we'll help you out.
