sending old military stuff from Australia to the States
My understanding of the world in that regard is as follows:
Australia requires an export permit for military vehicles so they can grab it for their military museum...if they have one in the museum you get the permit.
The US State Dept. now permits importation of former LEND-LEASE US Vehicles older than 1959. Still need a BATF Form 6 showing 'no guns' but the armor part is OK....
Parts importation as never been an issue and is permittred to return as US GOODS RETURNING - used and antique car and truck parts. hat rule from State changed maybe a decade ago. As long as not intended for regular on-rad use - no import duty - because it is not foreign truck.
