Brownells now tell me they need a letter stateing I dont need an import permit and the NZ police wont issue such a letter...

Write the letter yourself.

See my previous post for information regarding this matter from the NZPOL website.

No one needs to sign section 8 "the not allowed to export bit".
Needing an import permit isn't a Brownells thing. The US State Department require it (or a letter) as part of the export process.

What parts are you trying to get? Just get an import permit.

This is interesting as there is so much confusion.....

I want some AR15 parts like uppers and lowers.

I went to get an import permit and the Police AO said he wouldnt issue one (he was not allowed to) as one was not legally required. It is only legally required for a complete gun or a complete action, or a MSSA part or a part going on a MSSA.

I have written a "personal" letter this morning and sent it off, lets see how it goes.

Section8, well I have an MAFT official happy to sign it so I'll get him to sign it, its free anyway.
