How the process works

  1. Tell us what you’re after. Send the firearm, part or listing link. We confirm you’re entitled to it under Australian law.
  2. We confirm availability and cost. Once located and the full landed cost is finalised, we proceed.
  3. We purchase and arrange export. We deal with the seller and export requirements on your behalf.
  4. We import and clear customs. Permits, Australian paperwork, freight and customs at both ends.
  5. Ready for release. Your firearm lands and is ready for transfer to you.

Frequently asked questions

Which European countries can you import from?

Most. Germany, Austria, Italy, the Czech Republic and beyond. Requirements vary by country, and we handle the specifics for each.

What do I need to provide?

At minimum, the appropriate state licence and the ability to obtain a valid Permit to Acquire. Category C firearms have extra requirements depending on your licence. We’ll confirm what applies to you.

Can I buy the firearm myself and have you import it?

You can, and we’ll organise the import. Export rules can be strict and some sellers won’t deal with international buyers, so it’s usually smoother if we handle the whole transaction.

How do I get started?

Send us the firearm, part or listing link. We’ll confirm you’re entitled to it, quote the full landed cost, and take it from there.

Ready to import from Europe?
