Does anyone have any experience of exporting steel links from the US? Obviously ordnance items are a no no but does that also include links? Do you need special export licences etc?
many thanks, Dave

Exporting steel cannon shell links from US of A

510 - 51 boxes of 10 (20mm Hispano). my son lives up state NY and had bought them for me but not sure if they can just be sent in the post
That is quite a few. Start with a box of ten. Make sure they are all stacked together so you cannot tell what they look like individually when x-rayed. Only call them metric, steel, stamped parts. Give it a shot and see what happens. Worst thing is the loss of ten. This advice is worth what you paid for it.
Yes, they came in a box of 51 packs of 10! We’ll give it a try & see what happens!
many thanks, Dave

Don't.
It is NOT legal to export ammunition belt links from the US or any other country that is signatory to the ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) without getting government authorization in some form or another.
This is from the USML (The United States Munitions List) which covers items prohibited from being exported from the US under the ITAR agreement.

Many thanks for that link ThomasP, I’ll try that route and see where it gets me. What I don’t want to risk is getting my son in to trouble with the feds.!
Not too worried about the cost of transport, it will be expensive due to the weight but needs must!
Thanks Kiwieod, thats the issue I guess, have things changed?!
thank you both, Dave
