Thread: exporting to WA.

The firearm licensing process here in WA is a bit of a circus however the process is slowly improving.

Briefly:

To apply for a license you must have the following:

Firearm awareness certificate
Serviceability certificate for each firearm you are seeking to license
Supporting information i.e club references, property letters etc detailing your suitability to procure the intended firearm.

Unlike NZ where you obtain a license which allows you to buy whatever firearm you want and as many as you want. Here in WA you need to make an application for each firearm.

Let’s assume the intended recipient has prior approval for the rifle/caliber that you wish to send over in which case importing the firearm into WA is strait forward.

I suggest you go through a licensed firearms dealer who will take care of the importing documentation, serviceability certificates etc for a small fee. Sending a custom rifle over here is no different to sending a factory one.
