Found a shop in Ozzy who has on the shelf a chassis im after, none in the country here... Grrrr always the bloody way aye.
Left hand rem700 foot print long action KRG bravo, not too much to ask??
what sort of hoops would i have to jump through to get it from there to here? i could get a mate to buy it there but then post from there to here?
second hand firearms parts needing import permits etc i guess??
cheers lads
Secon$ hand: you will have the privilege of paying less GST I guess :-)
first thing buy it
then , apply to import it with an application to the police ( you will be approved as have i prevouisly ) copy your import authority , and send it to mate . Tell mate to put in box with stock , WITH your contact details cell , email , ;postal address . Dont leave any reason for "customs " to not be able to "contact " you lest it ends up in their hands .
Tell mate to send stock by complicit courier service such as ARAMEX who dont ask as many questions , they picked my stock up from Customs in Auckland airport . Meaning you want Aramex to do an international delivery AU-NZ .
Note though , that if the sport shop in AU get any sense at all , that your mate is going to export it to NZ , he wont walk out the door with it . Absolutely expect , to be dicked around by NZ customs and border controls if for some reason it ends up there .
He is what will happen ...... you will be tracking it , you will see it leave AU , you will likely see it arrive NZ as well and then you will wonder where it is after 5 -10 days cause it doesn,t turn up . Its at the customs holding area .... then you will need to contact them and ask politely have they got . Be ready with your contact details , the tracking ID stuff as well , some delays , and questions and proof you have got a "permit " .
Now , Know this .....they know you have one cause they have seen it in the box . Thats not goona be good enough . Now you are going to asked to send the " whole original email exchange from the police and the original authorised permit process " ABSOLUTELY do not cock this part up . Now wait for reply.... wait some more .... then you will get an email to arrange the pick up from customs .
So , once the authorising comes thru for the pick up .... its only ARAMEX who will do that NZ POST and all others will NOT PICK IT UP . So about now you are wondering why you are paying ARAMEX again to do what they were contracted to do .
Heres some advice , cop it sweet . Get the stock picked up and delivered fitst , bleat afterwards . Or do what i did got over it and Put my rifle in the stock and spent 2 hrs at the range instead . Why ? cause ARAMEX is the only courier that will move the stock in NZ .
Then you might just get lucky and ARAMEX might get the whole thing done end to end , just like DHL did back in the day , no questions , no stress , customs everything sorted .

Your mate will likely need a licence to buy it there
