How did you get on getting the stuff out of the US Mikee? No dramas? Any hints/tips?

Easy, Get your import permit here, make your order at Brownells ( I always choose USPS Priority Mail international as shipping method) and send the NZ import permit, a written purchase order, completed DSP-83 and End User Statement signed in ink to them. (They will send them to you once you order). They take care of the rest of the export doccumentation. This end, sent your permit to customs once they advise they have your stuff, Pay GST and fees if required and all good. Advise your local AO once you have recieved your order (in writing) and all good.
Easier than it sounds. Although lately a little more difficult at this end as local AOs have apparently been advised to to assist clearance of A cat parts as they do not require permits receivers accepted.

FIRST Check with Brownells that the parts you are wanting can actually be exported, ie that the manufacturer is registered for export. Then apply for your NZ import permit. Nothing worse than having to get new permits sorted out when the part you want can't be exported. Make sure your paperwork is in order before posting off. I email a copy first for Brownells to check before posting the hardcopys over. Other than that Mikee has explained the process well. Best of luck.

Good point, I check with Brownells if Manufacturer is registered for export.
My last NZ import permit had following descriptions on it
2 x AR15 Barrel assemblies (complete)
2 x AR14 Bolt / Carrier assemblies (complete)
2 x AR15 Handguard Assemblies (complete)

Then I wnt shopping
Local AO said permit was not required really anymore but issued one to speed up things clearing customs etc.
He retired shortly after
