Come On Christmas Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I have 50 10 gauge Hulls. 12 are once fired. The rest are black powder #8 shot shells. Where I to sell these as a lot . . . How much would the Hazmat fee be? Crayfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckhorn Bud Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hazmat fees apply to components like primers and powder not to assembeled ammunition. (It's not supposed to make sense. That's just the way it is.) If I understnd your question correctly, 12 hulls have been fired so no hasmat fee applies there. The rest are assembeled black powder ammunition so no hazmat fee applies there either. Total Hazmat fee = $0.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 There is no hazmat for loaded smokeless rounds - I don't know if it's different for black powder rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Come On Christmas Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Duh, Black Dawg sells black powder 12 gauge I will check it out there and see if they charge Hazmat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jess Money Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Black powder is a low yield explosive. As such I would guess there would be a hazmat fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Ammunition ... smokeless or BP sent via UPS Ground. A label with the following will get you through I put three on the boxes so a label can be seem no matter how the box is set down. ---------------------------------- ORM-D small arms ammunition --------------------------------- There is NO hazmat fee for loaded ammunition of less than 50 cal. If you ship 50 cal things change. Be prepared to open the box for inspection. I take all my out going orders to UPS with the box not taped up. I leave one end open. After the weigh in, I slip a copy of the UPS charges in the box. I have only been asked to open for inspection once since 1998. This was new guy on the counter trying to enforce rules on me for over 50 caliber ammunition. we had a talk and a supervisor came and opened the box..more to show the new guy what it was all about. Put your loaded shotgun rounds in standard shotgun boxes. You do not have to specify smokeless or BP. If they ask, they are just reloaded shotgun rounds.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I was under the impression you had to be a licensed manufacturer to sell/ship ammunition that you have reloaded. Anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Black powder is a low yield explosive. As such I would guess there would be a hazmat fee. BP is a class 1 explosive. ORM-D label is all that needed. Can NOT ship USPS must go 'common-carrier'. People ship ammo to themownselves for big shoots all the time.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm curious about who actually gets the Hazmat fee... does the carrier get to keep it? Does it go - in total or in part - to some gubmint agency? Has any of it ever been spent to recover from a hazardous material mishap...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
