Alpine Hunting New Zealand - for the ultimate red stag hunt!

Firearms

It is not difficult to bring conventional sporting rifles into New Zealand. A firearms license and import permit are available at the point of entry into the country. Documentation can be obtained from us prior to your hunt regarding the importation of your firearms into New Zealand.

There is no paperwork required for bringing a bow into New Zealand, but it is advisable to carry your last hunting license.

Please note that if you are bringing your own firearm, you will need your US gun permit and NZ$25 in cash when you arrive at the airport. You must declare your firearm when you arrive and proceed to the police desk in the arrival hall. The police do not accept US currency or credit cards so you are advised to get the NZ$25 from your departure airport.
