    I was all geared up for this when I imported 4 x 30 round P mags a year or so back. Figured I would have to fly up to Auckland, walk to customs to grab them and then fly home. I was watching the tracking closely ready to make the call to buy tickets when the mags just turned up at my door, they flew through customs without even being checked

    About 40 years ago I had a big shipment of assorted rifle and pistol magazines from Triple K arrive at the Ch-Ch Postal Centre. I was busy but my dad offered to pick them up, so I gave him a signed cheque to cover the sales tax and duty. He presented the notification card and the blank cheque. It was given back to him with the large unopened carton. "No duty on books Sir, have a nice day"!

    Does the old "sporting goods" label work? Shooting is a sport. As is game hunting.
