i looked on the net and i can't find a direct answer to my question.
what markings do you use on the box when shipping primed brass ?

I think you label it like loaded ammo.
I agree with grdad45, but i am no expert. Someone will come along with a definite answer for you soon enough.
Same as loaded ammo....the black triangle thing.
Primed cases meet the classification criteria of Division 1.4c UN0379 - however they are exempted and classified as NON-REGULATED (NOT ORM-D, NOT HAZ-MAT, NOT the new "Y" Limited Quantities classification that will replace ORM-D). Some manufacturers (as per the MSDS) classify their primed cases as UN0055, but the same DOT 1.4c classification applies, as does SP50.
There is no hazmat fee, extra paperwork, no sign-by-adult or other hoops to jump through - BUT - both UPS and FedEX advised me to clearly mark (with a sharpee) "non-regulated as per SP50" on the outside of the box to ensure that no in-transit problems occur..........because I guess their employees can be as confused as I have been on this subject and you don't want your box torn or ripped into.
so is this all that is needed? non-regulated as per SP50
thanks all
