Australian Border Force released a list of bolt action rifle models cleared for import during 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. The document notes that firearms with military appearance are subject to higher import controls than standard Category A and B firearms but may still be imported with written permission from the Attorney-General's Department. The list includes approximately 100+ bolt action rifle models from manufacturers including Accuracy International, Anschutz, and others, with their make and model specifications recorded in ABF systems. The document emphasises the list contains limited review, may include errors, and should not be used for individual case determinations—importers must seek case-by-case advice. Classification occurs under the Customs Act 1901 and Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 and does not determine domestic post-border control under state and territory firearms laws.
