Thread: Importing scopes these days

What's the go these days? Can you? Can't you? With paperwork? Best places? From the US? From Europe? From Australia?

This is a significant question. I know that you dont need an import permit, and that Nz Post wont take them. I am afraid that USPS will hand over to NZ post when it gets to NZ and they will refuse it. I have no more knowledge than this, I would also like to know of any recent experiences.

Yep, recently bought in a VX5 3-15x44 from the US at considerably less than what we pay here in NZ

I’ve bought in plenty of scopes into NZ over the years and nothing has changed

I had nil issues with delivery, it did get intercepted by customs when it came into NZ and that’s been pretty normal for me when items were in excess of NZ$1000

Duties were paid and I received the scope in the mail.

What gun is that going on ?

I've sent several scopes to N.Z in the last few weeks by Australia post all have been delivered.

People are bringing thermal scopes in from China without any problems.
