Yep I have bought back 3 scopes through aussie but after my mates disaster I'm not taking the risk with a 5k scope getting bent in half and $450 fine.

Read what I said about the risk coming out of aussie.
My mate had a scope destroyed by aussie customs and then had to buy the samescope in nz anyway.
Nightforce are worth the money to just suck it and get one in nz

Interesting.

What if you live in Aus and are only heading away for a trip?
I assume it's for people leaving Aus and living abroad?

Update

Just arrived back in NZ.

No issues either end but didn’t declare scope either.

Happy days.
