    Got a reply from Rainier if I was to order say two magazines

    "I’m not too familiar with NZ regulations but thank you the clarification.
    In either case, two Pmags will go under ITAR $100 exemption.
    Please provide me with the following:
    1) A photo copy of your Government issued ID and credit card, front and back. This can be done using a mobile phone
    2) Complete the ISAF form

    There will be a $50 processing fees for all international order. Here is an example:
    Total Cost = Product(s) + Processing fees ($50) + Shipping Cost + [Landing Costs: Duties and Taxes]

    Your package will ship via FedEx Express and will have to clear customs. [There will be landing cost (duties and taxes) from your government which you will be responsible for]. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you,
    "

    $50 processing fee for non-ITAR controlled orders
    $60 processing fee for ITAR controlled orders under $100
    $350 + 3% fee for export license orders

    Only worth it if you're going to order as many mags as you can while keeping under the $100 limit.
    If you're just wanting two mags, it'd be way cheaper to get a different brand and buy them from Brownells (no $60 fee).

    I got this quote for 5 x 40 round pmags from Rainier.
    "$94.75 for Pmags, $60 proccesing fee, and $40 for shipping. Thank you"

    Do you need an import permit to import 20-30rnd mags in to the country?

    For a MSSA, yes. For a manually operated A cat, no, but you'd need to prove to customs that the mags aren't for a semi, with an import permit or email from your AO.

    There is actually no drama, unless you are a Magpul fanatic. I like P mags but there are alternatives (Lancer).

    Even with the $60 fee pmags work out to be about the same price as alternatives.
