Thread: import from USA

Wasn't going to comment but I couldn't help myself

Interesting I have had 4 complete rifles and enough bits to build a heap more all legally exported (with the correct paperwork inside and out) to me from the USA over the last 10 years all shipped via USPS and in all cases the contents of the package were declared completely and utterly by the respective senders.


These were all also "restricted firearms" so NZ customs cleared them and handed them to NZ post so they could be left on my front step.!!

I believe USPS wont ship gun parts or firearms domestically inside the USA.

They don't seem to have an issue outside the USA. Also I believe NZ Post have an agreement to deliver anything legally posted (by a foreign postal service)

If this were an issue then the US stores would simply not ship as they are bordering on psychotically paranoid in this respect of not wanting to get in the poo with the federal authorities who have zero sense of humor in respect to "irregularities".

RampantSprouts (Please don't take offense) I would have to question how many time you have imported stuff and exactly what stuff. There is so much incorrect information and hearsay regarding importing and shipping firearms Out of the USA and into NZ.

In my personal experience its actually quite easy and straight forward, in fact its so easy I have a whopping CC statement regularly. and the nice people at Brownells send me letters thanking me for my business (this is bad when my wife opens them as they have the yearly total spend shown
