Hi Empire375,

I am not a Victorian but any Dangerous Goods in NSW, ammunition, powder or primers can not be posted and as I understand it, and a licence is required to purchase them but as each state varies that's not a 100% guarantee.

As for Duty, you are allowed to Import up to A$1,000 of goods for private purchase and use and that dollar value includes shipping. I have bought in gun cases from Italy and scopes from the USA and other bits with no problem but as you said, a clear description is the safe way to travel. When I purchased these cases from Italy I asked them to spread the overall costs in the shipments this way all receipts were under the A$1,000 at any one time.

Cheers,

Jeff Gray
