    Have you tried asking the shop that you're wanting to buy from?

    No issue importing, but exporting from Australia may have some conditions (they have strange laws)

    Looking at private sale away from dealers in this case.
    i can get them shipped to an Australian address and then shipped to NZ for free with other stuff.
    Just wondering what paperwork required at both ends?
    I've had scopes etc shipped from dealers and that was pain-free but wondered if projectiles needed permits etc.

    Theoretically you need a export permit from Aust. Pain in the ass. In the past I’ve just send woodleighs to a mate in Canada. Worked out ok but could go to shite I guess...

    Well reading the Australian export data it seems projectiles are OK to send out of the country.

    Just in case I have sent an email to the below address asking them the question. I'll post their reply for those interested.


    firearms.enquiries@homeaffairs.gov.au

    I'll pop in to my friendly Manukau firearms officer next week to check I'm OK with NZ also.

    Hi Lucky,
    If all checks out OK i'll give you my Australian contact address and could look to bring these over with mine if it all works out.
