Paperwork leaving Australia
      #60344 - 25/07/06 09:11 PM

I am flying to Zim for a elephant hunt in a few weeks.
Do I need any other form other than a B709A to take my rifles to Zim and back to Sydney?

THe B709A is so you can import the gun, ammo, scopes et
back into Australia.

To export you need a to go through a bit of paperwork crap
with Customs.

I would strongly suggest you go to see Customs at Customs House
in whatever city you are in and start doing all the paperwork.
(I can't remember what the form is called).

I would also take plenty of ID with you - incl Passport - and your flight
details.

Make sure you get this done WELL before you get to the airport and then
LEAVE 2 HOURS minimum as you also need to have the gun checked and
entered the day you leave and customs can be rel pains at the airport so make sure
you leave yourself 2 hours.

You will need a Restricted Goods Export Permit (RGP), an Export Declaration (B957), and need to be registered as a client (B319) (only needs to be done once).

The B709 from the Police is for re-importing your firearms and ammunition etc.

Phone your capital cities customs and get them to send to you the forms or go in in person and fill them out there. They need to sight the documents in person and photocopy them. Take enough ID for a 100 point ID test, your firearms licence, details of your firearms and ammo, your firearms registration papers, your airline tickets or itinery of flights.

Some Australia Post branches can also accept the applications once you have had them posted to you.

Customs will only process these documents within 28 days of your date of leaving Australia.

I understand on the Zim side it is easy to get the correct documentation on arrival. At least that is what I have been TOLD! Need details of which outfitter one is using etc.

All official documentation in Zim is not a problem as long as you have a couple US$ in your pocket with witch you are willing to part with.
