Thread: Importing firearm parts from the US

Apologies if this has been asked, a quick search yeilded nothing conclusive.

I want to import a couple of shotgun parts from the states. A magpul Stock set, and some accessories for that stock set from one website. Then a trigger unit, and some bolt parts from another. The trigger set is Under the $100 threshold so I should be ok there, but the stock set is $129, so I need a permit. The Internet is rife with errors and I am thoroughly confused now. One website I am looking at tells me I need a permit, others say I do not need a permit for shotgun parts.

So how do I go about getting a permit to import, and secondly I heard a rumor that I now need an import permit from the NZ police for any gun parts that are imported is this correct? Do i need an import permit for the trigger set even though its under the $100 mark? I can't get this shit here or I would buy it here.

TIA guys

Likely the US dealer will want all forms for the stock set, ie.

The original or a certified copy of your import
certificate/permit

A written purchase order on your letterhead stationary; According
to the State Department the purchase order needs to include: the
foreign party end-user name and complete address.
Documented on the purchase order you will need to specify the type
of firearm, caliber, quantity, dollar value and make/model. The purchase
order must be directed to the dealer as the supplier/distributor.
If this information is not included the export license application will be denied. YOUR SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED.

End User Statement: Under the rules and regulations
by the US department as outlined by the International Traffic Arms
Regulations, ITAR, the dealer will need an end-user statement.
The end-user statement can be placed on your purchase order or sent on a
separate letterhead. YOUR SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED.
Forward the end-user statement along with your written purchase
order, import certificate/permit and if required, the DSP83 end-user
certificate. The DSP83 form and end-user statement are two different
documents required by US state department, thus ITAR.

All documents must be mailed to the dealer. Original signatures are a
requirement of US Department of State; they will not accept fax or e-mailed copies.

The DSP83 Form is needed if your order contains an SME or regulated items:
US state department is now requiring a completed DSP83 form for any SME
or regulated items.



NZ Customs will see them all as gun parts and demand a permit anyway, even if NZ Police say they are not required.

Just print the web page of the items ordered, go to the Police, get the import permit, keep a copy for customs and send one to the USA.

Sandy at Brownells told me no paper work for shotty parts

Mate has a bullpup SKS stock arriving next week hopefully, $300-ish bucks, no permits required by anyone.

I'll email brownells and see what they say then, if so game on.

Just digging this up. How did it all go. Were you able to import?
