AUSTRALIAN ORDERING INFO:


----------------------------------------------------------

SORRY GUYS, WE NO LONGER SHIP TO AUSTRALIA.  WHILE OUR GUNS PASS LEGAL MUSTER DOWN UNDER, THE AUSTRLAIN CUSTOMS HAS DECIDED TO "INTERPRET" THE LAW, AND WE WERE TOLD BY A LOVELY YOUNG WOMAN FROM CANBERRA THIS: 

"........WE KNOW YOUR GUNS ARE NOT REAL, AND THEY PASS OUR TESTS, BUT THEY JUST LOOK TOO REAL......WE DON'T LIKE THEM...." 

WE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO EVEN RESPOND TO THAT...SO, WITH THAT LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION JAMMED IN OUR TUCKER BAG, THIS NOT SO JOLLY SWAGMAN HAD TO WALTZ ON OUT OF THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET.  I AM TRULY SORRY, THE DENIX GARBAGE YOU'RE STUCK WITH IS JUST AWFUL, BUT NO WORRIES MATE, SOON THE SQUATER AND HIS TROOPERS, ONE, TWO, THREE, WILL COME FOR THEM TOO.....

.....YOU KNOW MATES,....ALOT CAN BE LEARNED, FROM THE JOLLY SWAGMAN IN WALTZING MATILDA.

Most Replica Guns can be legally imported into Australia, with an approved B709A form.  However, Australian Laws change all the time, PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL CONSTABULARY BEFORE ORDERING:  Below is an example of the "B709A" form.  NOTE: Our M4 Rifles CAN be imported, but they are so realistic, they require a "B709D"!

 


Can Blank Firing Only Non-Guns (BFONG's) be shipped to Australia?  Yes, but it's difficult.....This is the info we got straight from Australian Customs:

Printed below is the email response Australian Customs sent us in regards to a query about shipping BFONG's Down Under

Dear US Replica Gun Co.,

Thank you for contacting Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.

To import an Imitation Firearm into Australia you need to obtain Police Certification (B709A for a rifle and a B709D for a handgun). Please refer to the fact sheet as follows:
http://www.customs.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/ImportingFirearmsReplicas.pdf

Blank-fire firearms will also require a B709D to import. They are treated in the same manner as a firearm.

Please also find the contact sheet for the state police who you need to contact to obtain the permit:
There is a webpage on the Customs site that lists all the requirements for importing firearms and weapons: http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4372.asp

I hope this information helps and please do not hesitate to contact us back if you have any further questions.

Kind Regards,

Melinda B.

Important: The advice in this e-mail is for information only and is not binding on Customs and Border Protection as there may be insufficient information on which to base a decision. If this item is imported, the Customs Officer and the Customs and Border Protection Office that receives the item for clearance will make the decision as to whether or not the requirements of the Regulations are satisfied.

So what this means, that even if it's legal, a customs agent who just doesn't like the product can reject it...WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SHIPMENT HELD OR SEIZED BY CUSTOMS, AND WE WILL NOT KNOWINGLY SHIP ITEMS TO AUSTRALIA WITHOUT THE CORRECT IMPORT APPROVAL DOCUMENTS.  SO PLEASE BEAR THIS IN MIND, and bear with us.  We want you to have these products, but it does neither of us any good to have items hung up, or rejected by Customs.
