Thread: bringing scopes back from the usa in your bags

Loaded factory ammo, brass and projectiles are ok in checked bags - they are required to be in the original factory packaging. There is a weight limit on loaded ammunition - somewhere around 3-5 kgs. You can check online.

I thought if your read online it tells you that almost everything is ITAR restricted and you need an export permit, brass and projectiles definitely being on that list???
