Martial Arts Equipment Nuchaku, Sai, and Bo Entering Australia.

Customer Question:
Are Martial Arts Equipment allowed from the UK into Australia? The effects in question are Sai x 3 sets, Bo x 3, and a pair of Nunchaku’s.

Burke Bros Answer:
The Nunchaku’s are a restricted import and we are fairly sure the Sai are also. The Bo should be ok as this is actually just a staff without any kind of cutting edge. You will probably have to apply for a permit to import these items which may or may not be granted. You can always go to the customs website and check out the prohibited weapons. This shows the Nunchaku but not the other two. It describes the Sai in terms that make us think it will be restricted also.
