U.N. Ammunition Shipping Requirements Loosened
December 20, 2010
(GunReports.com) -- The United Nations has adopted changes to international ammunition-shipping requirements sought by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI).
The rule change essentially protects the industry from a shift in U.S. shipping regulations that potentially would have cost the industry $300 million per year. The net result is that while the regulations will change, shipment of ammunition in the U.S will continue without additional fees and handling requirements. The change harmonizes U.S. regulations with international requirements, reduces overly strict shipping requirements by truck and vessel and facilitates shipment of ammunition to consumers worldwide by parcel post.
