I forgot to say that you should bring all your firearms with you. It is not difficult and is a lot easier and cheaper than trying to do it all after you get here. Notify the NZ Police of what you wish to bring well in advance to get the import permit underway, and notify the airline that you are lawfully bring these personal items with you on the flight. If the plane transits through Hawaii then there are US transhipment requirements that need to be met before you fly. Even though you are only transitting through Hawaii, the US authorities would quite happily confiscate them if they don't have advance notice through the airline. Things are a bit tougher than they were years ago but still OK if you give plenty of notice and get all your ducks in a row.
