Thread: import from USA

Banana, I don't doubt what you're saying, not in the slightest. I have received gun stocks (yes, they consider this a firearms part) and some other parts internationally via NZ Post with no issue, and I'm sure it's a case of "don't care" rather than "don't know". Just today I got an ammo shipment from a well-known gun store via normal courier package, and the sender had signed the "does not contain any dangerous goods" box with a scribble. The courier would have known damn well what it was.

What gets me is that legally and officially, there are few ways to ships guns or parts nationally, and virtually no ways to ship internationally. Once again it is the people trying to keep it above board and play it by the book that have all the problems. If it is not accepted officially but fine unofficially, make it fine officially and save everyone the hassle.
