Further to my earlier reply, I have just found the B709B form and the title of this form is "Importation of Weapons - Police Clearance".

There may be some confusion relating to forms, as a Green Light Laser (GLL) is classed as a "prohibited weapon" in Western Australia and to import it, you MUST have authorisation from the police prior to importation. This form is related to goods listed in Schedule 2 and 3 of the Customs (Prohibit imports) Regulations, under which this item falls.

Merlin, you may be right about the form 710, if the GLL is not a prohibitive weapon in your state or it is classified differently to that of Western Australia. If it is imported into WA without a completed B709B form, the item will be confiscated by Customs.

I hope this clarifies the situation.

BUT, to let you also know that I subsequently found a supplier of these in WESTERN AUSTRALIA, from which I bought a second unit about a year ago.

I have uploaded a photo of this item, attached to my Orion 80ED. As this is a weapon sight it is attached via a rail (also purchased from a gun shops). The advantage of this particular unit is its easy alignment adjustment, which is the same as used in a normal telescopic sight.

So, to save you the Customs hassle, I checked with Gun Mart and they still stock this item. They have the Arctic Fox 40mW Green Light Laser weapon sight and the cost is $299. It comes with both a button and remote pressure switch. I use the pressure switch which you see stuck to the side of the telescope. You will also require a 3/8" rail, for fitting to a flat surface, which will cost about $40the mounting It is a lovely bright GLL. Details are as follows:

Ask for Bill, as he knows all about these items.
