    if you mean tips, sure but live ammo will require hazardous packaging and be very expensive

    Bullets (even just the lead), believe it or not, are controlled for export and thus require an export license from the U.S. Department of State. They are listed on the ITAR U.S. Munitions List (22 CFR 121.1), as Category III(d)(3). It goes on to say:

    quote:"(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..."

    Thus, you'll need to use the services of a registered exporter (there are few). You can find them on these GB help pages:

    We at Dave's Sports Shop (www.davessports.com/export) are one such export dealer, right on the Canadian border. I do quite a few licensed shipments of bullets, but the quantity has to be high enough to make it worth it for the end-user. The process is a bit complex, but not too bad when you do it often as we do. The exporter registration is the expensive part.
