Exporting bullets.

[wogpotter]

Not loaded rounds just the projectile.
Assuming the recipient is 100% legally allowed to obtain & posses. Assuming the receiving country has no problem with the importation.
Hurdles, problems, technicalities with U.S. law & the exportation?

 

[Frank Ettin]

It looks like bullets are subject to ITAR (22 CFR, Chapter I, Subchapter M):

1. According to he United States Munitions List (22 CFR 121.1(a)):

   (a) The following articles, services and related technical data are designated as defense articles and defense services pursuant to §§ 38 and 47(7) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 and 2794(7))....

   
   
2. The United States Munitions List (22 CFR 121.1) includes:
   
   
   • Category I Firearms, including:

     (a) Nonautomatic and semi-automatic firearms to caliber .50 inclusive (12.7 mm).
     
     (b) Fully automatic firearms to .50 caliber inclusive (12.7 mm).

     
     
   • Category III—Ammunition/Ordnance, including:

     (a) Ammunition/ordnance for the articles in Categories I and II of this section.

     
     
   • As provided under the listing of Category III—Ammunition/Ordnance in 22 CFR 121.1 (emphasis added):

     f) The following explains and amplifies the terms used in this category and elsewhere in this subchapter:
     
     

     (1) The components, parts, accessories and attachments controlled in this category include, but are not limited to cartridge cases, powder bags (or other propellant charges), bullets, jackets, cores, shells (excluding shotgun shells), projectiles (including canister rounds and submunitions therefor), boosters, firing components therefor, primers, and other detonating devices for the defense articles controlled in this category....​

   
   
3. So bullets (projectiles) are subject to ITAR, and export of bullets will need to be done in a manner which complies with ITAR.
   
   
4. Under 22 CFR 123.1(a):

   (a) Any person who intends to export or to import temporarily a defense article must obtain the approval of the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls prior to the export or temporary import, unless the export or temporary import qualifies for an exemption under the provisions of this subchapter....

   
   
5. I'll have to leave it to you to figure out if you can qualify for an exemption.

The 2013 guidelines confirm that.

This was covered a few months back, so I'm going to close this one.
