Importing a No32 scope, nearly but not quite....

[muffett.2008]

Funny that, I set up an import complete with documentation for a couple of rifles, took 2 months just to get the paperwork sorted.
The exporter advised me when the items landed here in OZ.....that's when the funny stuff started.
My documentation said they were to be sent via AusPost to Customs in Sydney, however they arrived by courier in Brisbane and the Couriers name and address was recorded as the recipient.

It took a month to track the items down, a month to have them transferred to Sydney, then I had to have a Statutory Declaration from the Courier to the effect that I was the owner, one from myself with copies of the original Import papers to prove ownership and wait another 3 weeks before I could travel to Sydney and collect them.

As it was both suffered slight damage from the over exuberant safety inspection..............good bit is they waived the Import Duties due to accepting that it was their stuffup.

Only just got the items cleared and returns and PTA's returned before they expired...........I had a bit of a sit down after that little lot too.
