Firearms and Weapons
The importation of firearms is strictly controlled in New Zealand. All firearms must be declared to the Customs officer on arrival of the craft from overseas. Firearms onboard will be detained and placed in safe keeping by the New Zealand Police who will hold them until the craft's departure.
The importation of weapons such as flick knives, swordsticks, knuckle-dusters, and any weapon designed to give the appearance of another article, is prohibited.
