Thread: importing scope mounts???

"Anything that attaches to a firearm requires a permit to import. This includes integral parts of the firearm, such as barrels and trigger group parts, as well as other items like scopes, sights, butt plates, and slings, that attach to a firearm but are not integral to their use."

So far have found it really hard to get any specific answers from FSA about permits and implications.

I currently have a pcp pistol held up in the permit system unsure of the outcome yet, I also ordered a few bits from the states and Canada including rimfire CF magazines.
I wouldn't recommend it, but I ordered the mags and then sent through the permits figured atleast they would sit in a warehouse here until the permit is processed.

Recieved the mags a week ago and the permit is still sitting with permit team.

They change their minds like they change their shitty skid marked under wear

ok, since i'm off the usa later this year, whats not prohibited? can i bring back slings etc?
what about archery gear?

Something's a bit weird.
Both myself and other club members have brought in a few scopes from UK lately.
Last one was a few weeks ago.
Two of the scopes were fairly dear ($$$) and needed Customs fees, GST, etc paid.
But absolutely no drama.
No Police permits needed or asked for.

This was discussed here 2022.
"Good morning,
Scopes and sights are not considered to be a part pursuant to Section 2 of the Arms Act 1983, and as such, there is no requirement to obtain a permit to import for these items.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know."
