    Bringing back reloading dies from usa

    I would have looked through the fourms for the answer but just to hard on my phone in the USA right now, so just wondering would I have any problems bringing back reloading dies from the states? Also looking at a scope, guess just need to declare it should be sweet? Cheers guys

    As long as you're under the $$ limit for GST you'll be fine. You can also declare reloading dies as machinery parts because that's exactly what they are. I didn't declare case gauges and other reloading supplies brought back last year, had no problems with USA or NZ customs.

    There is for stocks a $100 use limit so assume it will be same as stock. I assume if you don't declare it leaving they won't know and it should be alright coming to nz as we have no ITAR, it is just the yanks

    Dies are not a gun part, so I cant see how it would be controlled they are tools. Dies however tend to be fairly cheap in NZ so maybe your $s would be better spent on something else? If yo have an AR for instance $100's worth of AR mags.

    Optics however once above a certain level of sophistication, then you would need an export permit I think, hence itar.

    NZ customs I dont think would care on optics except only if its a proscribed part like a flash hider. Though say an A2 "flash hider" is/should be proscribed a silencer isnt in NZ, but highly so in the USA, just weird.

    Dies are fine, I bring in all mine from Sinclairs/Bronwells.
    As mentioned, they are not gun parts, so don't have to worry about US $100 limit.
