Pack them in a sturdy box and mail away. They're just brass tubes, and IF they ask, it's not of their business. If they were live, that would be another matter.

I did ONCE have a pack shipped to me that was "confiscated" because they "said" there was one live round in the package.

What a load of

But it was insured.

Live ammo or primed brass would be considered haz-mat. Otherwise, brass is fine to ship. Just don't ship 70 lbs of processed .223 Rem brass without fiber wrapping the parcel in two directions.

True but it falls under the 1.4s consumer goods exemption and can be shipped by any ground courier taht will take them.
Canpar, DHL etc.

Yes, do yourself a favour and package it very well. I had a box of .45ACP brass break open in a Canada Post sorting plant. By all accounts, they nearly wet themselves.

Yep, no different than mailing a pie plate...

No problem, but you will be surprised at the shipping cost. Brass is HEAVY.

Same thing happened to me with a box of Barnes bullets, it caused a major meltdown at the post office and I got a call from the RCMP to go down to the detachment and pick up my bullets.
I had a talk with an official at the post office trying to explain they were not loaded rounds but he could not understand that they were no more dangerous than a bag of marbles, that I really wanted to say were the same thing in his head.

I send casings thru the mail regularly...no problems. Also the projectiles, though heavy, can also be sent post. just no powder, primers or loaded ammo.
