If you are importing into Victoria, Australia you first need a prohibited weapons permit. Since the blaster 'looks' like a real gun enough to be mistaken for one, it is classified as a prohibited weapon in Victoria (the rules are different in other states). Then you need a B709a form to import the blaster into Victoria Australia. This is the form that customs will call for if they seize the blaster at the border. You have to present the original to customs to get the item released. Of course, there is every chance you will get through customs without issue - but if you want to follow procedure, this is how you do it.
I imported the OG Tomenosuke into Victoria using the above process. Its not complicated, its just time consuming. Oh and its $222 for the prohibited weapons permit. The B709a is free. You wont be granted a B709a though unless you first hold the prohibited weapons permit for imitation hand guns. You can get yourself classified as a 'genuine collector' of sci fi memorabilia (that's what I did). Its a pain in the ass and time-consuming.. but it is doable.
