I have been searching high and low for an answer to this - both the archives here, at cartridge collectors forums, etc. I combed through all the BATF FAQ's. No luck.
Is it possible to ship via contract carrier like UPS, FedEx, or DHL, a box of 50 live centerfire rounds abroad? I know the USPS is out as they don't handle ammo, period. Let's ASSUME for now that the destination country has no problem with it. Is there some part of the USC that bans a private individual from shipping a few handgun rounds overseas?
I ask this as I have a box (50) of vintage military handgun ammunition a collector overseas wants to buy. I can find no rule saying I can't, but I can't find any passage that discusses this, either. I do notice Midway, Natchez, etc. do not ship overseas; so I imagine there must be a rule somewhere. I would just like to find it so I know.
