Thread: Permit to import

When I emailed the Customs AO at the International Mail centre about sending my permits up I got an automated email response saying NZ Post no longer deliver packages containing firearms/firearms parts (and all firearm parts now require and import permit) and to contact an 0800 number. Rang them and they confirmed they wouldn't deliver my packages as firearms/parts/airguns are all prohibited goods and can't be shipped by NZ Post, but I could pick up or arrange for a courier to pick up. Items in question were 5 round mags and a 2 round shotgun mag extension.

That was a month ago. Last Friday I finally got an actual reply to my email from the AO saying they had found one of my packages and to send up all the permits so they have them on file when they find the other packages (which all arrived in country on the same flight). So I guess we will see if they will deliver.
