Australian Border Force

[Sjakon]

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

NT - ntclientservices@abf.gov.au

VIC - clientservicestullamarine@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.
