Does anyone know if its ok to send reloading components to Australia from the states?

I have imported dies and a press a while back from USA thru the post with no problems, these are not prohibitrd items if thats what you mean.

I've imported projectiles and brass on a couple of occasions. No problems this end with the appropriate paperwork, the problem is trying to find a US supplier who's willing to post to Australia.

If you are talking actual reloading companonets - you will have a problem with powder and primers too perhaps but projectiles are OK. It is not the Aussie end that is the problem with the powder but the transport companies. Powder is readily available here though.

you need an export permit from the U S state department for proj..cost $400, and is valid for 12 mounths
primers and powder are a big NO especially through the postal system

'Fraid not, Matt. There was an informal US export license exemption, for less than 1000pcs brass/projectiles, for a while. But some numbnuts decided to push the envelope, so that's been gone for a while now. The very few US sellers, that are still willing to ship components overseas without the licenses, are bound to be caught up with. And the resulting fines will likely put them out of business.

Also, anything classed as Dangerous Goods, as powder and primers are, is out of the question, for all practical purposes. Can't go via the postal system at all, or by air.
