Importing Cubensis spore print into NewZealand

Hello,
I'm just wondering how safe it is to import a spore print into NewZealand from America, not sure if its illegal or not. Anyway I was worried because I've heard of someone who had the Police searching his house 2 weeks after the spore print arrived, they had a warrant and everything. But they could only do him for the possession of pot, so having the spores may be ok. What they were hoping for is catching hi m in the act of cultivating the shrooms. Apparently Customs realized it was a spore print from noticing the company at which the spore print came from.
Anyway anyone here from NZ who has found it safe so far?
Cheers Darren

New Zeland i heard has some very strict laws on importation of foods and such, because they do not want to have something fuck with their ecosystem.
So i am guessing that the sporeprints would be somewhat frowned upon.

NOTE THIS IS ONLY MY SPECULATION.

If it is shipped in a greeting card (birthday, Xmas & the like), with a residential return address.
It will not even be inspected.

I had a look around on the web and it turns out that it is illegal to import the spores of most of the Psilocybe sp. into New Zealand,but with that said I'm sure there are ways to get them through customs. There is a post about this on web page . Good luck!

To export out of the USA it has to be listed on the outside of the package that it is infact spores that will produce illegal substances. So you can't really be sneaky about it when ordering online. Just get a hook in the USA who will help you smuggle them through other packaging.

Yeah, it's not like there are dogs out there sniffing out spore prints. You can put them on anything, or fit them into anything, so you've got your work cut out for you.

Not quite. You have to declare if it is liquid, flammable, perishable, or live plant material. A sporeprint can legally go right into a greeting card or letter. Now, whether it is legal to IMPORT a sporeprint into the receiving country is up to their individual regulations. NZ is pretty strict on that. RR
