Thread: Permit to import

This information included copies of customs signed permit and shipping invoice. Looks like they are making extra work for themselves and doubling up on customs signing items off.

Not a big deal just scan and email the required documents.

Worst part of importing at the moment is the backlog at customs (currently about 4 weeks) and wether NZ Post will deliver once released from customs (they told me no, I have to pick up or sort out some other freight provider).

Hmmm, I have a problem I don't have any customs signed permit etc as the parts I ordered came through customs without being stopped (they were correctly described on the package) and arrived at my place before the import permit was even issued...

If anyone needs a DIP Tikka T1x rail or DIP bolt handle for a Sako Quad (which fits a T1x) I could import them now to use my permit...
