Can I bring my own rifle?, and, what permit do I require to do so?

Of course you can!, NZ is a relatively easy country to bring a rifle (not Handguns) into (not like Australia!). You will need a Tourist Firearms Import Permit which can be obtained from NZ police on arrival at Auckland Airport.

To speed up the process look at the NZ police website.

You will find a copy of the application which you’re required to complete. Print out the form, fill in the details then send it back (fax) to the NZ police. Be sure to let them know your intentions and they will instruct you on what to do, they will then have the form waiting at the airport on your arrival to sign.

You will need my physical address:

Glenn Ralston
95 Glassworks RD,
RD 2, Ashburton
Phone number – 027 2297118

Firearms licence details – Glenn Andrew Ralston , licence number Q5008734
You will also need $25NZD to pay for this, check with U.S customs/airlines for entering/leaving USA Or……just use one of Alpine Trophy Hunts rifles!
