Action proving dummies.
(Fired case with glued in lead ball "projectile" & no powder. Utterly 100% inert.)

Covered or not? Can I legally ship said dummies out of US without grief, real or invented?

They will be 100% utterly legal for import5 & ownership in the place they are shipping to. I already checked that.
 
When exporting ammunition, you have to deal with ITAR regulations. The relevant exemptions are in Section V, but they do not make an accommodation for inert or dummy ammunition.
 
Even if it is not considered ammunition, it might be considered a training device, or a tool for performing maintenance. ITAR can be (and has been) broadly applied to weapons and their support/training/maintenance systems

Stupid? yes. It is what it is.

Respectfully I disagree that this is an answer to the other thread you locked so rapidly.
Were the 2 questions similar?
Yes.

But, there were & are significant differences that have not been addressed & this appears to be the only outlet for those differences.

Differences:
Completed, but non viable "action proving dummies, dewat & beyond & so not revertible to live ammunition. Vs.Components, assembled, but capable of being turned into "live ammunition".

Quantity. 3 or 4 Vs 100 or 200.
ITAR specifically lists quantity as a criterion.

Temporary Vs permanent transfer, also specifically mentioned in section 5.

Exemption requests from section 5 only seem to be documented in the guidelines for actual arms (see sample letter for details) & not ammunition, components, or other items that might be construed as "training aids".

Because of these differences I think the topic is still valid for discussion.
 
In any case, there are citations to the ITAR regulations and guidelines in the OP's other closed thread.

We've had nothing new in this thread for seven months, so I guess the OP will need to do some research on his own.
