Traveling with reloading components to Africa

[85Tecate]

Had a request from a friend to bring some nosler partition bullets (not ammunition, just the bullet) with me on my next trip to Africa. Does anyone know if I can bring a couple hundred bullets over in my check bags without dealing with a bunch of governmental bullshit?

You will be ok brining them. I just brought 2000 bullets for a trade and I had no issues. I called CBP and they said it was ok.

Warbird782 - Good stuff.

Couple of questions...Did you need to declare them at the US airport when you left or at the SA airport when you arrived? I assume you just threw them in with one of your check-in bags?

Checked bag and no declaration. An outfitter that I know buys bullets every year in the US and brings them back in his baggage with no issues.

Sweet Jesus! Thank you for saving me a lot of time.
