I have an email from the Firearms Safety Authority dated 25/05/23 that states:
“ A scope and/or scope mount do not require permits to import into New Zealand, as they are not considered to be a part Pursuant to the Arms Act 1983. I trust this clarifies the matter for you. If you have any other queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us again, we’re always happy to assist.”
I subsequently bought a scope mount from Germany and received it with no issues, although the tracking info showed it was held up at the border for about a week.
