Thread: Bring stuff in luggage from the US/Canada

I flew home from Canada in 2010 without any issues with a about 300 pieces of brass, 100's of projectiles, miscellaneous reloading equipment, a handful of knives, pile of hunting gear and also a rifle.

There was paperwork for the rifle and the rest was just in my luggage. Only question I got was in NZ (border security) asking why the all knives (5). Explained that I had worked in a hunting shop over there and that each knife was for a different purpose i.e. fishing, hunting, caping, pocket knife, multi-tool, etc.

Had no issues anywhere else. Also never got stung by GST as I was over there for 18 months and all the gear had been used while over there.
