Thread: What can i bring in to NZ?

Bring in two Rosavelt Elk fawns, a male and female please, and Moose, yes we need more Moose.

Scope will be no problem at this end, just expect to pay the gst & don't worry about it. If you shop well you will still be saving heaps on local prices & won't have to pay postage. Who knows you may get lucky & not have to pay anything.

It's no problem buying and bringing into NZ what you have listed, as for exporting out of the US........the spotting scope and binoculars are no problem and ususally you won't have a problem bringing scopes out of the US......but technically speaking you do need an export permit to export any of the following, pistols, rifles, actions, barrels, any firearm part including but not limited to triggers, magazines, scope rings, scope bases, action parts, projectiles and rifle/pistol scopes out of the US. I am not sure what US customs would do if they decided to act on this.

Usually when I've departed the US I have taken a firearm into the US................Kiwi

Someone with more of an idea will post I am sure. I would like to know as well.

I travel to Aussie with a firearm quite often and to get out of Australia with any of the following you need to become a registered exporter and fill out the forms at customs before departure about what you are exporting out of Australia. This also includes any of the items you own and imported into Australia.
The items requiring an export permit are any firearm, any firearm part, scopes, projectiles and empty cartridge cases, I don't know if this is the full list but I do know if they find any items not on the export documentation they get taken off you and deposited in the rubbish bin..........I saw this happen last year.

Then again I've heard of people buying things in Aussie and bringing them back without any problems.........Kiwi
