Thread: Importing brass from Australia????

Contemplating building either a 222 or a 6 x 47 but want to use Lapua brass which seems to be out of stock everywhere here in NZ. Any tricks to ordering some brass from Australia if I can find some?

Have you tried greg at terminator products i know he had a bunch of x47 brass a while back i got some 22x47lap brass from him

Have a chat with NIOA.

when you find answer please let Brian know cause he is having same issue in different cartridge....

Bringing it back in baggage doesn't seem to be a problem

I got some sent from aussie shop gunforce in Adelaide.
Just the post is eye watering as well as the brass.
It was 300 norma mag though!

I’d love to know how to post Brass out of Aussie so I can get my relatives to send me some. Does anyone know the process for people to export from Aus rather than a retail store?

Yes its complicated, you need an export license from the ministry of defense to start.

What nor-west said. I've been looking at what is required to bring projectiles from SA to NZ, transiting through Sydney and oh man it's a mission.

Your relatives will have to register with the DoD, which requires either an Australian business number, or a customs client ID to be able to get access to the online portal.

Damn. Significant jumping through hoops then. I guess that rules that out!

Every store I've asked about sending brass so far don't want to know! have sent a message to Gunforce awaiting reply to see if they have what I want & willing to send.

A mate is bringing projectiles in from Oz and is currently awaiting the DOD to approve said projectiles for export... its not easy and does take time.

Bump

Anyone brought any brass in lately from Australia ?
Post or flight baggage

Best solution might be to buy a 223.

Sorry i just tacked this on to an existing thread

I certainly wasn't interested in 223 brass

I was thinking about something massively bigger with a capacity of about 170 grains and a bullet diameter over 15mm
