I had to go thru transferring rifle actions into & out of Aussie , I had to deal with 3 seperate Agencies , NOT counting the actual guys holding the gear at the airport .
SC3 is on to it , its not simple and almost no one talks to each other .
I also needed an Aussie postal address , it did not matter to them , that I donot have a Aussie address , or that I am a Kiwi , or that the goods where intransit ONLY , they just did not want too know , I have just counted the sheets of A4 I sent/received its 45 pages long , took me about 3mths in time and about 3 hrs in phone calls , I just hoped they did not destory the goods , as they only hold them so long , and most of that time was taken , in them posting me a snail mail letter , nice .
1) Aussie customs for a CCID number
2) DECO , dept of defence export control office , for Export permit
3 ) Federal Attorney Generals office , for Import permit

I have been sorted if I buy the rifle by a very generous forum member and it will end up in a licenced holders hands 30km away from home until I am able to pick it up, so I couldn't have been luckier!:thumbsup:
I had a chat to my AO about bringing in bits to de-sporterise my Enfield just this month. He said that if its a part for a sporting gun its not much of an issue no permit needed. Unless its the action or a complete gun, then getting an inport permit might be the safest thing just in case. So a "sporting" sako, yes get a NZ permit just to see you right just in case you get an a-hole of a customs officer and Ive had a few over the years. The biggee might be OZ they are "hot" on stopping the small arms trade...let us know how it works out in case I want to do similar.

they will be able to ship it back to nz if you cant sort a way of bringing it back on the plane
