Mailing empty brass

[Reddat4u]

Are you allowed to mail empty brass cases through canada post or are they considered a dangerous good? I cant really find any info online about just empty brass casings

 

[jmichelin84]

As long as they are fired and you gave them a cleaning basically all the use powder out the inside you can say it's not dangerous goods, BUT even range dirty isn't dangerous goods

It's just brass. Mail away - done it many, many times.

 

[Reddat4u]

They are new ppu unfired empty brass no primers or powder or even bullets being shipped with them

Empty unprimed brass can be mailed with no restrictions. Primed brass, loaded ammunition, powders can not be mailed, must be shipped by courier at outrageous cost.

Good to go. Brass and bullets are fine, powder and primers are dangerous goods for Canada Post.

Brass is fine. Youre not suppose to mail live ammo or primers thru canada post ...but they dont ask whats in the box and Appartently dont check because ive recieved and sent many times

Before you ship anything they ask if there’s dangerous goods in the box, lying about that can result in fines and charges.

Legally they are required to ask. Do what you want then, ignorance of the law doesn’t mean you’re allowed to break it. The Canada Post act is law btw.

I've never mailed brass however many have mailed me brass. As others have said empty brass that doesn't contain unfired primers or powder so I don't think it can be considered dangerous.

I've sent many items through canada post though (mostly rifles and other items). They've never asked if there are dangerous goods in them. I know I'm not supposed to ship loaded ammo, primers or powder. So I don't, but at the same time they've NEVER asked.
