Sending Bullets or Brass to SA or Namibia

If a person is staying/living in Namibia can they have a person from the US send (mail/ship) either brass or bullets (not loaded ammo) to them, legally?

If not, can an import/export company ship them to a person or to an import/export company in Namibia?

Also what are the rules for a person taking Bullets or Brass with them as checked luggage when flying to Namibia from the US?

Is there a limit to how much weight, with in reason of course, can be taken when flying to Namibia if willing to pay for the extra weight?
It would be on a flight over without guns on that particular trip.
Might list the brass as extruded brass parts or something though, to make sure someone didn't misunderstand and think it was loaded ammo.


It's a Mauser thing, you wouldn't understand.

Allen, yes you can send it via mail. The best would probably be DHL. Also, we have never had clients having trouble with bringing a reasonable amount of bullets and or brass with. Call it brass and heads on the customs form if you want.

I sent one of my PH's in SA a batch of brass through the mail, no problems. But...it took about a month for him to recieve it.

Caution to US citizens: You probably need an export permit to ship bullets. Not sure about brass. But you can buy the products from www.huntingtons.com and they will obtain the necessary export permit and ship the products to your overseas friend for you. Better safe than sorry.

Yeah, it's Penn Jillette. He is a hard core libertarian.

just recieved some brass and bullets from OZ with no hassles, and I generally get a client to bring brass or bullets for me when needed.
Since neither are considered to be ammunition in terms of our firearms law, there is no problem.
Bear in mind we are talking about 100/200 items at a time, not tens of thousands, at which customs might get twitchy about duties etc.
Primers and any form of rimfire/centrefire/pinfire cartridges require paperwork in terms of our law.
