Thread: Import permit for reloading equipment ?

Have imported 2 lots of dies since the shite with permits became more enforced last year. Had no issues and also didn't have permits because Kapiti stated none required. In fact the wording from Kapiti for the permit I did apply for was "permit declined" and then went on to state that reloading equipment is not a firearm part.

IIRC though others have posted that they have got permits for reloading equipment?? Unfortunately who knows how they will jump at Customs/NZ Post.

As far as buying from overseas I have spent shitloads over the years. For a press though I would be looking for a sharp deal onshore. Unless you can somehow sidestep the shipping any saving on the purchase will be consumed by the shipping. A press is heavy obviously.

Also be aware you may get pinged for GST.
