Dear Sir/Madam,
Recently a parcel addressed to you from overseas was opened by Australia Post for inspection by the Australian Customs Service at the Melbourne Gateway Facility Melbourne Airport. The parcel was found to contain the following item/s:
One(1) bag of bb pellets.
BB gun pellets are prohibited imports listed at Item20,Schedule 6 of the customs (prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 and therefore subject to the seizure provisions of section 203 of the customs act 1901
Please find attached a ’Seizure Notic’ relating to the seized goods. Please not that it is in your interests to read the "important Note" on the seizure notice.
Customs understands you may be unaware that your consignment is a prohibited import. In this instance, the only action to be taken will be seizure action in accordance with section 203 of the customs act 1901.
Any repetition of the breaches by you in the future will be dealt with seriously and may proceed by way of prosecution.
To avoid any inconvenience in the future please visit Customs website at www.customs.gov.au to verify import requirements prior to placing an order.
If you wish to purse enquiries regarding the issuing of an import permit for the future importations, please contact:
