The other thing is they may also want to see a copy of your import license if they feel like screwing you round.
Or they may just seize the goods under some act or other .

Seriously? How can they seize a shotgun stock. Its not in anyway restricted nor could it turn my firearm into a restricted firearm. Gst and duty is all good, thats only fair. The only reason I imported was because I can not buy locally. Fingers crossed its just duty or import permit...
