We don't. It's a pretty straight forward answer. You need a license to ship HAZMAT through UPS or FEDEX and an account with them.How do we ship a pound container of powder if we don't have a hazardous materials shipping license?
By vehicle. Your vehicle. I have a friend that works in a gun store. I think he can ship powder for me if I wanted him to.How do we ship a pound container of powder if we don't have a hazardous materials shipping license?
Thanks. That's what I thought, but wanted to check.We don't. It's a pretty straight forward answer. You need a license to ship HAZMAT through UPS or FEDEX and an account with them.

Same for primers. Load empty cases with primers and you can ship all the primers you want.You could load it into fresh ammo, then ship the loaded ammo perfectly legally through UPS or FedEx.
This is true. There are new rules that went into effect January 1 this year that did away with the ORM-D and relaxed the rules regarding limited quantity shipments. Google search for "Limited Quantity Exception" and you will find the labeling and volume limits. Additionally, these items can only be shipped via UPS and FedEx, and not via USPS.Same for primers.

Which is likely a good thing if you have any hope of what you ship getting where it is going.Additionally, these items can only be shipped via UPS and FedEx, and not via USPS.

Assuming the reference is in terms of someone selling reloaded ammunition and the liabilities involved, especially if they didn't have a license and insurance to do so.Can you please explain why that would be?
Exactly; the rpevious person said to load some ammo and ship ammo - which you CAN do - but is the risk worth it? No, it is notAssuming the reference is in terms of someone selling reloaded ammunition and the liabilities involved, especially if they didn't have a license and insurance to do so.
Which is a given, but the OP only asked about shipping powder.

You're generous- powders and primers? Not for sale; at least until I KNOW I can get replacements easily and at regular pricing.Powders and primers, face to face only. Anything else let them find another way to get it.
In reality, that's your only option.Thanks for all the answers. I have a couple extra pounds of powder I was thinking about selling. Was just wondering if there was a legal way to sell it online. Might just list it as local pick-up only.
That's what I did. Had a member drive from PA to me in Cleveland (about 130 miles). I sold 43 pounds of powder for $12 a pound. He was happy and I was happy. It was all still factory sealed and most of it was VihtaVuori. Strictly face to face and it worked out just fine.Thanks for all the answers.

No license and no insurance required per the ATF to expressly sell, assuming you are NOT doing so for profit or livelihood.Assuming the reference is in terms of someone selling reloaded ammunition and the liabilities involved, especially if they didn't have a license and insurance to do so.

While I have no idea how well the legality of that would play out could BATFE make the argument that since the primers were spent that the cartridge cases were merely being used as a container for the powder? Someone would really need to be pretty desperate to go through all the hoops. I am just not sure that idea would fly.I could theoretically powder fill a bunch of 50 BMG range brass with expended primers and a bullet to plug the neck and legally send it to somebody in desperate times. That is technically not manufacturing ammo.
