hotrock Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Try this there's a number to call on the section covering knives. http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4369.asp Cheers for that, perfect, it looks like it should be ok, it is a service issue 4" army knife made and stamped in Sheffield, http://www.madeinsheffield.com/view_item.asp?ProductID=135 we are also sending Some Henderson's, A tea-towel etc, basically anything Sheffield orientated. We did try Royal Mail, but was on hold for 30 Min's, so thought I'd give Sheffield Forum a whirl, Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
