It’s considered to be ammunition, so if you can find someone that will ship that for you, you’re all set. Obviously, the USPS is out.
What fresh Hell is this?

It can be shipped via ups. Just need to make a orm-d sticker(google it) and create an ups account online. Print your label and put it on the boxed along with the orm-d. drop at any ups truck or shipping hub.

Why do people concern themselves with this B.S. ? Just pack them so they don’t rattle and send them and keep your pie hole shut . Kenneth

Primed brass is not subject to HAZMAT fees! Due to a specific exception in the DOT regulations, primed brass is not considered hazardous materials and also not even ORM-D (UN limited qty). This means it is free to ship without additional fees or any warning stickers on the box. This means it's an excellent way to get primers without paying extra HAZMAT fees. I get it shipped in USPS from suppliers by the 1000..
If the Regulations have changed , we are not aware of it.

I sent two empty .358 Win cases that had 200gr Accubonds seated to a member here years ago. The package was sent via USPS and was redirected to an Amazon distro center. It was scanned and opened. The Provost Marshall where I was stationed was notified and I was summoned for questioning. I was lucky. The detective who questioned me was a reloader and understood it as a simple misunderstanding.

USPS showed me in their guide, no brass with primers. Took it to the FedEx store, told them what I had and he said no problem and no hazmat fees.

UPS refused to ship primed brass, claimed it was a fire hazard.

I just asked this a month ago, and a guy on accurateshooter said a friend sent primed brass USPS and it was somehow found out and he faced federal charges and was out $50,000 plus attorney fees. I've been sending mine UPS ground dropped off at a hub with the diamond sticker on it.

I appreciate all the answers as what i was finding via Google was all over the place

Can I ship primed brass from myself to an individual without incurring Hazmat fees? Yes - hazmat fee not required. Post office now considers primed brass a non-mailable explosive. Section 341.21 of publication 52. Here is the linkUPS and FedEx will ship it. Your call on which rules/regulations you want to follow. As others have pointed out, pack it well (regardless of shipper).

That's what I was being threatened with for shipping two empty cases with just bullets seated in them. I don't recall anymore but normally I wrote inert on the cases.
