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 imported a stock earlier in the year, think it came through Fedex, a mate also imported a stock a month or so ago which came through USPS.
I don't think shipping from the US is the problem.

Once it gets to NZ it'll be held by customs waiting on your permit, once cleared there you'll have to arrrange your own shipping or collect as NZ post wont ship from there.
