Hi,
Has anyone had any experience bringing in projectiles from overseas trips? I'm bound for South Africa soon and figured with the shortage of 6.5mm projectiles in NZ, that I would buy a couple of boxes and bring them back in my check-in luggage.
I can't for the life of me find any relevant information about transiting through Sydney airport with projectiles.

I am looking forward to comments... can you actually bring projectiles and brass into NZ or out of Australia in your luggage?
I brought back a box of 178 eldx from oz 5 years ago,no problems.I bought them at "The Outpost" in Gladstone,carted them right round Australia.found out when I got home they were cheaper at gunworks including postage.

Their reply is that no permit is required for projectiles.
Didn't ask about brass.
Wrt the OP, simply don't know about aussie but if you are transiting and do not collect your luggage it shouldn't be a problem
We are off to Canada in September and I will pick up some projectiles and brass if it's not to dear. I spoke to our local Arms Officer and a permit for projectiles and brass is not required, not sure on the Aussie side of things. I got an email from our Arms Officer so I can carry printed copies just in case customs have a problem with it, one copy for the checked luggage the other goes with me.
Cant bring projectiles or brass out of Oz my brother tried last week.
If there in your checked in luggage and its going straight through to NZ should no be a problem as theoretically its not in oz...
4 weeks ago NZ police told me no permit required
It's only the "leaving Oz" bit that needs consideration. I'm also pondering the issue as I may well be in transit back to NZ through Aussie.
The only transit place I know where it could be a problem is Singapore. Aussie, no problem but beware of ignorant and officious customs/security staff who may 'try it on'.
I've of heard people needing an import permit and agent to import cases to Australia.
I'm not up with what you are asking but they are easily posted across Australia, I don't think they are classed as ammo as such so really they might be just an item in your luggage .
I think a commercial quantity might raise import issues though. Forget that, you won't find much in large quantities here either.
I think A couple of packets would be ok. I did consider though if I were travelling can I take cases or projectiles to a friend.
Do you know what the reason was?

I asked him to get them for me. Aussi border people wouldn't let him have them in his luggage.
when my bro came down in May,no worries flying domestically with rounds BUT on way home they said he wasnt allowed to take home his EMPTY 7mm mag brass..... he unpacked his luggage and got them out,and then the supervisor came along and corrected the staff member and sanity prevailed..cases went back in plastic round holder and bags dissapeared up conveyor......
Theoretically you need a dept of defence export form for projectiles to be sent out of oz. However if they were copper plugs for fixing tanks they would be ok. Go figure..

Didn't someone recently get a criminal record for transiting through Singapore with a spear gun? I seem to remember he regrets using the word "gun" when dealing with staff at some counter.Quote:

dumb as it may sound...ring/email shop that has them and ask them to work out whats needed and then send to you ... gee the world has become overcomplicated as of late...mate sent me big bag of .12ga wads with no issues a year or 10 back..... that mongrel B.T. has alot to answer for.
Tried that Aussi shops cant export them.
Before investigating the process I didn't understand the reference 'register to export'. What a mission!!Quote:

As far as I can tell, it's not possible to apply for a DEC if you haven't been in Australia to register with the department of defence. There are so many hoops!!
I'm going to call the ABF to get clarification on the use of a RGP for Projectiles only. The language in the permit implies it can only be used when accompanied with a firearm.

Sounds like a pain. If it were a pack of ball bearings you wouldn't think twice.
Wasn't thinking as I wrote that but don't try carrying a slingshot in certain states they are prohibited.
There are 2 au states that no one can send pills or cases to now the bloody place is nuts .
So... No rpg's, std's or DEC's...or DIC ,unless you're with the DOD or the ABF which might allow a RGP ? Sounds straightforward enough. (yes...it IS raining here )
