Police certification

Police certification is sufficient to import most firearm magazines into Australia. This certification will generally be a B709A - Importation of Firearms – Police Confirmation and Certification form.

Handgun ammunition can also be imported on a B709D - Category H – Police Confirmation and Certification form.

Firearms dealers can also use a B709DA - Ongoing Importation by Firearms Dealer – Police Confirmation form and provide details of the goods at the time of importation.

Forms can be obtained from your state or territory police firearms and weapons registry.

The original signed form you receive from the police registry must be presented to the ABF at the time of importation (or a copy of the B709DA).
