I have no reason to believe that NZ Customs intercept all of the drugs that come in to the country in containers and I have even less reason to believe that there aren’t any firearms concealed with the drug shipments that get through. Hell, I wonder how many customs officers would even recognise firearms parts for what they were if they were on an X-ray screen in front of them. Customs simply do not have the resources required to comprehensively inspect every container that comes here.

Customs have authored a document that listed the guns and parts seized over the past number of years. It is probably somewhere on the customs website
