You cannot legally own Smoke Dischargers in the UK without a section five
firearms licence unless they have been deactivated and have the appropriate
certiifcate. Few vehicle owners seem aware of this over here.

I'm assuming you're looking at bringing in armored vehicles. If so, those
come in on a form 6 (5330.3A) as an "implement of war."
http://www.atf.gov/forms/pdfs/f53303a.pdf
Keep in mind that ATF considers the smoke dischargers on Ferrets and other
Brit MV's to be classified as "Destructive Devices." Also, if you have a
Browning .30 or other MG dummy gun on it, you probably can't bring that,
even if it is deactivated, and definitely not if it has an intact right side
plate on it.
www.atf.gov is the main site. There should be phone numbers there.
As for "friendly contacts", ATF isn't exactly known for being friendly.
