Hi Guys please see email received below re rifles and South Africa transportation of firearms .Last year I travelled several times with no problems but apparently they are now insisting on an export permit from UK.,
as well as your SAP520 form
Thank you for your telephone call. I can confirm that the South African authorities now require a 'letter of temporary export' upon entry into SA, or they may detain your weapons. We can arrange for this to be sent out to you, however we require a few pieces of information from you first:-
·Copy of the ID page of your passport
·Copy of letter of invitation from the hunting party
·Copy of flight details to and from South Africa
·Copy of the full, valid, firearms certificate
·Details of which firearm(s) and ammo will be exported
Please send all the scanned documents to this email address and a letter will be sent out in the post ASAP. Alterantively you can send photocopies to our postal address but this may take longer to arrive.
Yours sincerely,
Nicholas Richards
