Illustration for Arms Act 1983

You want to import an air pistol carbine conversion kit into New Zealand. A Police officer can ask you to show them samples of the kit for testing. The Police Commissioner can only give you a permit if you plan to use the kit yourself as part of an airsoft or paintball club. You must be a member of a club that is part of a national airsoft or paintball organisation. The permit is only for you and you cannot give it to someone else. The Commissioner decides who gets a permit to bring these kits into New Zealand.
