Here is some information from Australia Border Force which may be useful for hunters temporarily taking rifles from Australia. I am going through the process and there is a new Restricted Goods Permit (RGP) form DC07. Also they asked me to fill in a B957 Export Declaration form. I hope this helps hunters from Australia traveling with their hunting rifles. Not sure about the Export Declaration Form.

Other documents: Firearms license, Firearm registration, Drivers license, Passport, Invitation to go hunting.

Below is information on where to send the documents 1 month ahead of travel:

Send documents to the ABF office of your state:

In the event that you are completing a Restricted Goods Permit, you will need to submit your application to one of the following email addresses.

ACT - act.op.command@abf.gov.au
NSW - mandexnsw@abf.gov.au
NT - ntclientservices@abf.gov.au
QLD - mandexqld@abf.gov.au
SA - cargoclearancesa@abf.gov.au
TAS - acs.launceston@abf.gov.au (South) OR abf.hobart@abf.gov.au (North)
VIC - clientservicestullamarine@abf.gov.au
WA - shopfrontchap@abf.gov.au

Please note, applications are processed approximately one week prior to your departure date - unless indicated differently - to allow maximum validity for your Export Permit.

Good information.

The DEC07 RGP is not new, you've needed both that and a EDN for as long as I can recall.

The other thing first timers will need to do is to register for a client number with the integrated cargo system. This can be done well in advance and only needs to be done once. ;)

Thanks Tim for the valuable information. I just sent the form to ABF Vic to register for a client number.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
