Thread: Importing 4 shot magazines

I was told by Tauranga firearms officer that you need to get an import permit to get any firearm parts. This doesn't include scopes, bases or rings, but did include magazines.
The hard part is not the import permit, it's the US export permit, or finding somewhere that will ship out of the US.

You could try the youshop thing and don't say it's a gun part, put it under the DIY category, but if you get caught you would be in trouble.
A friend had a guy in the US ship him a K98 extractor, and the seller must didn't say what it was. That arrived fine, but if you get caught I don't know to what extent you can must claim ignorance.

If you do het one easily I'd Love to know, as Remington 597 mags are $80 each here, and can get two in the US for 21USD.
