These were the results of my inquiry back on March 19'th
Hi Gary,
Well, I was incorrect regarding shipping bullets out of the US. An
export permit IS required regardless of value. The $100 exemption only
applies to minor components of firearms and not reloading componets.
However, an option for an export license remains. I'm sorry for the
confusion on this matter. Would you please forward this message to
eliminate any confusion generated from from my previous email.
Regards,

Gary,
I can ship bullets, brass, and other minor components without an export
license as long as any single order is no more that $100USD (excluding
shipping). There is no paper work at your end. I am registered with the
US State Department, which is the prerequisite for using this license
exemption. You simply place the order and I file the shipment with
customs before export. I ship everything via USPS. Any order over $100
(actually $110 since a 10% rule is in place) does require an export
license. This may be a good option for someone who will be ordering
bullets on a regular basis. An export license is valid for 4 years and
can consist of multiple shipments. There is no need to purchase and ship
the entire order all at once. The primary advantage is lower shipping
costs since it costs the same to ship 5 or 20 pounds of bullets. I have
not applied for a license because there is much more paper work
involved, but I'm willing to give it a try for larger orders. There is
some confusion regarding the export of bullets and other minor
components. For example, I have seen reference to a license exemption
for up to 800 bullets. In my conversations with the State Department,
this exemption does not exist. I have also seen reference to a $500
exemption, but this one does not apply (I won't bore with the details).
The only other option open to Canadian residents, other than the $100
exemption, are those permanent residents registered in Canada in
accordance with the Canadian Defense Production Act. I can ship to those
individuals without an export license.
This may have been a more detailed answer to your question than you
wanted, but I hope it helps. I would very much appreciate if you would
pass this information on to your fellow interested Canadians.
Regards,
Mike
