Do I need an import permit for a bolt head? It's for a blaser, doesn't have firing pin or anything.

Yup, if its part of a rifle you need a permit :oh noes:
Any part at all even if its a screw bloody rediculous state of affairs
Everything.
Yep just easier to get one regardless
I have just finished 6 pages of permits for parts because there are only 3 lines on each !
Forms have not been amended for the new reality
Clog them up and inconvenience them as much as you can, it might make them see sense that what they did was implement a stupid law that will cost the govt a heap.
Not that I disagree with you but it may just make it worse and they just get backlogged and then slap a fee on it due to increased workload....just saying.Quote:

Ah ok, I've only ever done it for bringing a firearm back with me from overseas competition. I guess it's the same form?
The way things are going you will need an Import Permit to download Brownell's catalogue!

WTF!
Not content with that, he had mispelt two of my three names and referred to the Snider as being a muzzle loader.
I replied but as the slider was sourced via a service man located within the largest American airbase in Afghanistan, who is sending it via the USA Services mail bags to the States where it will then enter the civilian mail system and the sender's details on the package will be...
SENT FROM
XXXXXXX XXXXXX
Unit 10/ MISTF-A/ BAF
APO AE 09354
If any checks are required to be made when it arrives here, I'm sure that will be too much for Plod to cope with. HOWEVER, I accordingly passed the info on and received an email acknowledgement which treated it as a fresh permit application............SIGH and had the following warning.
" We will respond as soon as possible to update you on your application progress. Please note- we are currently experiencing heavy demand due to recent legislative changes...."
My only possible response to that is "No shit Sherlock"
As an aside, I noted on the bottom of the 31 October email all the premable and names of Plod's who had been involved in processing my application to date. Careless of the last Plod not to delete that.
HOWEVER of interest was this appended as a require ment by one of the aformentioned Plod's.
"‘Confirmation of import to be notified to Police within 30 days of importation, for an audit of the importation (by quantity, type, make, model, calibre) , using the supplied NZ Customs signed permit to import and Import Consignment documentation."
Shit knows what all that is about, but no doubt will eventually find out........
I’ve had parts held by customs since 4 October. No notification from customs, no reply to my emails or several phone messages. They already have the import permit. I’ll give them a couple more days then complain via the ministers office and start sending in oia requests with relevant questions to customs.
Give them shit.... and then sit back and wait, typical release time is 2~3 months if you are lucky.Quote:

You would think it wouldn't be too difficult in this day & age for customs to inform the Police that on X day Mr X received a clearance for items on X import permit...Quote:

Application lodged, 7/10/19
Query from Constable Plod as to which country part is coming from received 30/10/2019

28 days just to get the application "submitted for consideration."

I`m flabbergasted …..
What is clearly needed is an automated online system. Item name, select category of item from dropdown list, FAL number, FAL category consistent with item ordered, order gets automatically approved.
For the last few years most of my permits have been in my hand within 3 weeks from the date of application, many within 2 weeks.
Most cases i get the email saying the permit is done within a few days.
However a few of my permits seem to be getting ignored, as they may be in the to hard basket, example a pistol grip for a shot gun...???
