If the seller will/allowed to send - then you will have no problems apart from you will need an import liecnce (if over 1K value) and freight company (DHL Fedex etc) will request GST/Import/Customs fees before release from Auckland.Quote:

Importation of goods has been covered at great length in many threads.Quote:

Anything closely associated with a firearm can cause difficulties with shipping, that’s if the vendor will ship internationally. This includes mounts, rings, scopes etc.
Do your research.

Close. Its not specifically $400 but anything that attracts more than $60 in fee's. Most goods this means $400 as GST is the only fee, but some goods have a higher tariff (Clothing is one from memory) and if that is the case the threshold for the fee is when the fee hits $60 or more.Quote:

Postage from the US from ebay listings is over the top usually ... the UK is so much cheaper ... I do not purchase scopes etc
Shipping UK v US - You are so correct - why - I do not know either.Quote:
