Can someone help with the cheapest way to bring in new firearms from europe to Australia.

I guess I need a custom agent/carrier and a dealer to process the registration?

As I can buy new Steyr Air Pistols from Germany $1000 cheaper than I can get new in Australia.

Surely the import costs and dealer charges won't cost $1000 for a couple Lp10 E pistols

Cheers

Don't forget to factor in repair costs, should there be any. Your warranty will be with the seller, so if a problem ocurrs, that where you'll need to return the gun. If you need it repairing locally then you'll most likely have to pay for it all.

It will only be cost effective if air pistols are not classified as a firearms in Germany ( I'm pretty sure that may be the case ) and can be sent by post as, about 18 months ago, they changed the rules and all firearms must be sent by air freight - the costs of which are quite high from Germany. I've done numerous imports from Germany and the last shipment - 5 handguns cost about 800 Euros in freight

Also, as an added bonus, as it's an export, you can remove the 19% German sales tax.

As an alternative, look at other European countries with a more relaxed view of shipping firearms - I've done a couple of firearms imports from the Czech Republic and they are more than happy to send by Czech Post.

Sorry to intrude , I am in a similar situation , I am looking for a Styer LP10 with below 2 joules , for practising at homg , because , the law here : pistols of below 2 joules power is not governed by the gun restriction , so there is no problem of importing & practicing ; in fact , there is a couple of LP10 2 joules among our friends. However , Styer asked me to go through the local dealer , price is outrageous , while compared with that in Germany (like the beginning post , I found this German online shop) , yet this German shop indicated : "there is no LP10 with less than 2 joules". So I need help here : are we talking about the same German shop - Buinger ? Or other German shops ? And what is the link of this Czech shop ? I need to talk to them about ordering a LP10 2 joules. Thanks a lot.
