Firearms Freight Services

Firearms transport only runs between licensed senders and authorised receivers, with documented chain of custody, compliant packaging and state/territory licensing observed at both ends. QFM coordinates these consignments through carriers authorised to handle them — not through general pallet or parcel networks.

Ammunition carries Class 1 Explosives ADG classification with quantity and mode restrictions — air freightis restricted or prohibited for most ammunition. Firearm accessories, magazines and optics that aren't separately regulated can ride standard networks but chain-of-custody documentation applies to the full consignment. Interstate movements require alignment with origin and destination state firearm registries.

Firearms Freight Profile

  • Licensed Dealer-to-Dealer Transport: Interstate firearm movements between licensed dealers in Melbourne, Sydney and other capitals, registered importers and authorised retailers — verified licensing at both ends, serial documentation and chain-of-custody paperwork through pickup and delivery.
  • ADG Ammunition Compliance: Ammunition is Class 1 Explosives under the ADG Code. Quantity thresholds and mode restrictions apply; packaging, labelling, manifest and vehicle selection matched to the class and amount at dispatch.
  • Law Enforcement & Authorised Supply: Freight for police, defence, regulated industry users and authorised businesses moves through equivalent compliance standards — authorised receivers only, documented handovers, secure carrier allocation.
  • State & Territory Registry Alignment: Each Australian state and territory regulates firearms differently. Interstate movements align to origin and destination registry rules, with carriers familiar with the specific regulatory path for each corridor.
