yes, drop.dom, i'm still interested in this item that for some obscure reason, probably incompetence, you're not shipping to my country (where it's perfectly legal)...
by the time you'll be shipping it, probably 8-10 years at the earliest at this rate, i won't be interested...
IAmACheapSkatePretty sure they changed this a few years ago.
www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2015L01968/Explanatory%20Statement/Text#:~:text=This%20amendment%20has%20the%20effect,automatic%20knife%20from%20import%20controls.&text=These%20knives%20will%20no%20longer,imported%20into%20Australia%20without%20permission.
"The single handed opening knives which were controlled were knives that have a blade folded or recessed into the handle which is capable of being opened by gravity, inertia or centrifugal force. These knives will no longer be controlled goods and may be imported into Australia without permission. The possession of such knives will still be subject to the relevant laws of the States and Territories.
The purpose of this amendment is to reduce confusion for industry and individuals. These knives have previously caused confusion amongst these groups as to whether they were controlled goods or not. This was because similar knives that can be deployed rapidly, but without being opened by gravity, inertia or centrifugal force, are not controlled on importation.
The amendment will allow importers to import single handed opening knives that can be opened by gravity, inertia or centrifugal force. These knives have many legitimate uses, including for use in outdoor recreational activities such as camping, mountaineering and hiking.
The controls on knives such as automatic, assisted opening and butterfly knives will remain under the PI Regulations."
I've not had any issues importing flippers.
