Is ammunition available in New Zealand?
Yes, but you’ll be happier if you bring it from the U.S. The selection isn’t as good as you’d find at home, and all ammunition is more expensive in New Zealand. For airport security reasons, be sure that your ammunition is in its original package or an ammunition container, separate from your gun. One box of shells should be plenty, but we recommend bringing two, just in case. Airlines typically limit passengers to eleven pounds of ammunition. Check with your airlines or travel agent before leaving.
