102,000 .223 rounds in!
« Reply #15 on: January 10, 2013, 02:57:37 PM »
Last time I entered Canada I had what they called a "whack" of ammo with me. They tore apart my truck looking for the guns that went with the ammo, they didn't believe me I just forgot I had ammo in my console. I knew better than to bring firearms but didn't even think about ammo. Can't remember if they confiscated it or not.

Just ship the ammo. FedEx and UPS will both ship ammunition as long as you properly mark the box with an ORM-D label.

I'll give them a call, interesting to see how much 50 lbs of ammo would be  :chuckle:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Probably not too bad. I can ship a 50 pound box from here to Vermont for less than $50. There's no extra charge for ammo, so it just depends on the dimensions of the box.

As of right now, it's perfectly legit though. I pick up and deliver ammo every day. I deliver it to both gun shops and personal residences.  :tup:

Just checked on this. Ammo will still be classified as a LQ non-hazardous material and won't require HAZMAT paperwork. It looks like the DOT has just moved over to a variation of the standard DOT Diamond Label instead of the ORM-D label. No change in the legality of shipping ammo, just a change in the labeling. The new Diamond label isn't required until Jan 1, 2014, but may be used now.

From what I understood, and may be wrong, it is going to take a special class to be certified in shipping ammo as of 1-1-14

This is true, but SAAMI petitioned the UN to change the classification of ammunition to an LQ (limited quantity) 1.4s hazmat. This is simply the UN version of ORM-d. The ORM-d was a US designation for limited quantities of specific materials without hazmat papers. The DOT has transitioned to a more unified code (adopted by the UN) to simplify global shipping. Both sides made some adjustments, but the end result is the same. In reality, this was a global win for SAAMI. They petitioned to UN to loosen global requirements  on shipping ammunition, and won. This will make the process easier for individuals in other countries to ship ammo without the extra hazmat paper work. Ammunition may still be shipped by private parties as long as the proper DOT diamond label is applied to the package. The new  DOT LQ label is available and can simply be applied to the package containing the ammo.
