Thank you for contacting the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Contact Center.

You may not pack ammunition in your carry-on bag.* Black powder and percussion caps used with black powder type firearms are not allowed in carry-on or checked baggage.

Small arms ammunition (up to .75 caliber and shotgun shells of any gauge) are permitted in checked baggage as long as they comply with the following Federal regulations:*

• Packaged in a fiber (such as cardboard), wood, or metal box specifically designed to carry ammunition
• Declared to your airline

Ammunition may be transported in the same hard-sided, locked case as a firearm if it has been packed as described above.* You cannot use firearm magazines or clips for packing ammunition unless they completely enclose the ammunition.* Firearm magazines and ammunition clips, whether loaded or empty, must be boxed or included within a hard-sided, locked case.*
