Now i have the right permit for the import , but the exporter is saying that DHL , UPS, and simple US post services wont transport the gear, and even if they did move the gear to NZ , The NZ postal services wont move the gear because they have prohibited all things firearms ?
So, if all that is the current situation , how is anyone sending anything to and fro ?
cheers

I have imported rifles into NZ, for personal use, non commercial intentions.
I used Reloading International in Oregon to ship and they had them sent on Air New Zealand out of Houston. Reloading International will assist if you contact the. They are excellent to deal with.
Once landed in NZ and cleared by NZ Customs ( i.e. duties, gst paid ) you can either collect yourself from Air NZ or have someone do for you on behalf.
If you're in this situation and can find no other help to collect from Air NZ conatact me as I might be able to help you.
Cheers
