    Customs cannot reject anything unless it is an illegal import. There are no restrictions on parallel importing. As long as any GST or duties are paid, that's really all Customs care about. If it was dirty MAF might have something to say"
    Yep you shop hopeless .did nothing
    For me I had sort myself with customs.after ping pong.
    Back forth .

Also spoke to an international bike rider who told me to forget it. He is not permitted to take his shocks from NZ via air to his destination and that he has to arrange at destination. Other option as mentioned above would be to ship it.

    Oil in shocks is not a problem in the cargo hold of passenger plane. Pressurised containers like remote reservoir shocks are. Just depressurise them and ship them. I had a set sent from the states last Nov. No issues at all and delivered within a week.. As I posted earlier the IATA regs are very clear about this.

    Have you been drinking again actungbaby?
