I have worked extensively in the import business (not firearms, but tech), as both a retailer, a distributor and for a vendor (manufacturer). The cold hard truth is NZ sales amount to sweet fa of nothing. For most vendors operating in NZ is simply not worth it, and the NZ distees buy less than a typical single store in the USA. And that was in tech, not the firearms market where I suspect rules and regulations make it more difficult.
