So I don't know, seams to be different info about,
What are you after, I have sea cans, x2 coming back over next 12 months,

Interesting

I'm looking to buy a cNo7 .22 lee Enfield trainer, so removing parts etc would hardly be ideal

I am bumping this thread up.
Have applied for export permit from Canada customs, filled out the Excol request,
https://www.excol-ceed.gc.ca/Main-Pr...=FirearmsArmes

Scaned NZ firearms licence, both sides, as this is all that is required for end user, for a New Zealand export, I had sent in a permit for three rifles, that I got off the local arms officer, in March, Had a phone call to ask, if I had one for the other firearms, answer No, And told that it was not needed for NZ, just scan your firearms licence for NZ.
So filled out the Application, with all relavant info, and 1 week latter have an Export permit emailed, for a dozen non restricted, long arms and shotguns, valid for 12 Months, Only other requirement, is to contact Canada export officer, once firearms are removed form Canada, and received in NZ.
Far easier than I had expected, and a big shout out out to "Serge" the Canada export control officer, most helpful government employee. I have dealt with in years.
Just loaded a safe with 8 firearms into a sea can today.

You and Res, both have a PM , with the contact info...

Thanks Southernman-much appreciated

Finally, my gear made it from Canada, Not to bad a process, but tough to navigate the first time, have to give both Canada and NZ customs credit, as well as NZ police, very help full.
One safe and eight firearms, from Canada, arrived monday with a 20 foot sea can, of other goods, tools, house hold, lounge set, fishing gear, decoys, sports etc. etc.
Now to unpack, it flipping all, and find a place to put it all.
