Yes. Some time back I applied for an Import Permit to take my own rifle overseas, then return to NZ. I supplied my rifle serial number as requested. I got an email saying I also needed to supply details of my scope plus serial number as this was a "firearm part" under th Act also requiring the Permit. I wasn't aware this had changed but bloody good if it has.
