Importing cartridges from somewhere other than the US

Post by portph » 24 Mar 2014, 5:49 pm

This is for a few odd cartridge for a collection I'm talking about...

I know you can't import them from the US, right? But that's due to their restrictions on shipping them, not on ours receiving them?

If I found a place in the UK or where ever else that was willing to ship here, I could import them right?

Cheers.

You're right, the problem with the US is their ITAR restrictions, not our end.

I don't know about shipping from the UK, but from the Australian side of things if you have somewhere that will ship them you just need to do a custom application to bring it in and there shouldn't be any problems.

Dunno if the UK will be your best bet though.

Their gun laws are worse than ours.

New Zealand though maybe?

I've shot off a couple of emails last night to a NZ joint, one in England and another in Hungary just to see what the answers are.

We'll see what the replies are...
