Thread: Ordering Brass from overseas

What is required? i want to order from Alpha munitions, they don't seem to send international but am sure someone does.

the price converts to much cheaper than from our importer and currently ozark doesnt have any stock of what i want anyway.

Much appreciated.

Currently, there are no restrictions importing either brass or bullets into NZ. A big and high value parcel may prompt a gst invoice from NZ Customs.
Sometimes shipping can be slow - typically around 4 - 5 weeks. I recently bought and shipped some Barnes bullets from Texas. Shipping took 8 weeks - unusually slow. I followed tracking and eventually saw my package had been intercepted by US Customs for inspection. Apart from the delay there was no problem. The box was closed with US Customs tape but they released it and it arrived, eventually.
