THIS WAS OUR EXPERIENCE AND IMPORT/EXPORT REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. SO PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. AS OF POSTING THIS VIDEO, YOU NOW NEED A MPI EXPORT CERTIFICATE TO BRING HIDES/TROPHIES BACK TO AUSTRALIA. THE LINK IS IN THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION. ALL THE BEST AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS 🍻

Mansfield hunting and fishing are super helpful. Great bunch over there.

Thanks mate! They've just changed some of the rules unfortunately, you now need a MPI export certificate on hides/skins. Apparently we got lucky coming back in as the changes were implemented end of April this year 😳 so definitely something to be aware of for future trips.

Awesome stuff mate

Thanks mate!

I am Australian and I visited N.Z. to hunt the high country. I experienced far more rigmarole leaving and returning to Australia - than entering NZ. I had to get AFP permits to import my own firearm back home as well as written permission from the carrier so I could place it into special custody. When I arrived in NZ the licensing Cop at the airport wanted to come with me, he was awesome ) and leaving NZ with Bone & Hide was no trouble either. Easy inspection and certification at the airport. But Entering Australia I had to deal the Australian AQIS muppet, he was about 27 years old pimply faced and had zero idea of firearms or hunting - demanded to know why I left AUS with 20 rounds and returned with only 17 ?? Where were the other three “bullets” he asked??? I said , one sighting shot and two Bull Tahr trophies / the spent cases were on the hill somewhere and couldn’t be retrieved!!! But where were the bullets he demanded! OMG 😨 In my experience the attitude to firearms and hunting in Australia is perfectly backward compared to NZ.

Sorry to hear you had so many issues! NZ is definitely a lot more welcoming than Aus when it comes to hunting and firearms, Holly and I definitely got lucky with our exit and return to Aus. Everyone was excellent in both countries. The other issue is the constant changing of regulations, it's changed again since this video and you now need a MPI export certificate to bring home capes/hides. We had no rifle or bone/hide inspection when leaving NZ airport, was only when entering back to Aus and they were all excellent too. But I've heard some horror stories for sure!

Amazing video, you read my mind!

Can you bring ammo over? (Your own reloads for example l?), and any requirement to remove the bolt within the hard case and store separately for example? Cheers.

Yes mate you can bring handloads. Bolt must be stored separately, yes. I locked mine in ammo tin 🍻

I believe so mate, but not 100% sure. I've got to amend the video tonight. There's been a recent change in bringing skins/trophies back 🤦‍♂️
