The Taiwan KSC MP7 had all the nice markings and was ready to run on green. The Japan version had the nice trades but needed a lot of "greenwashing" (ha ha that word is mine now) to run without breaking to bits on propane. The KWA had some of the HK markings but the mags weren't fully marked and some of the parts on the body had the 6mm Umarex and other not so pretty text.
For KWA as a company I've read the old reviews and definately been creeped out. But I have also talked to one of their honchos a few times by mail. I've talked to their help desk, and had them phone me when an order was ready to ship just to confrim details. I found they were very proffesional to deal with and responded quickly.
They were also clued in about what can and can not come into Canada. I had a DOA MP7, they said normally they would have taken it back in, even outside of it's warranty and worked it over but for Canada they don't like to do so because it won't get back across the border. Instead we trouble shot it over the help desk text and then they got me the new parts to bring it back into action.
I would do a couple things if I was in this situation right now. I'd sign up on their forums, and read through the posts that relate. Then I'd put in a help desk ticket to get hands on help.
