Bt Doctur 188 Posted March 7, 2014 This place has lots of powders, but dosen`t ship. www.dongsguns.com ? Can it be transported by aircraft ,if so how many pounds. Can it be transported by personal truck, and the max limit in pounds? Can it be transported by rental truck? Laws and regulations moving powder in your personal vehicle or trailer?

10X 3,296 Posted March 7, 2014 Without taking time to actually look up the relevant regulations, I think transport by commercial aircraft is a no-go. You can transport loaded ammo in checked baggage in factory boxes or better (plastic boxes good, plastic bags bad). I think the regulations limit you to 5 kg of ammo, but some airlines have lower limits. I'm pretty sure powder and primers cannot be checked, only assembled ammo. Transport in a personal car or truck should be ok, for reasonable 'personal use' quantities. I suspect there may be a weight limit somewhere in the DOT regs, but I don't know what it is. I don't know if trailers are treated differently. Commercial transport will be treated differently! If you were found hauling massive quantities, it's going to look like commercial transport, and it might be hard explaining why you are hauling it without a CDL, hazmat endorsement, and vehicle placards. Transport in a rental truck for personal use is likely treated the same as transport in a personal vehicle…except your rental agreement for the truck may have additional restrictions in it.

JackDaWack 2,895 Posted March 7, 2014 Hazardous materials must be shipping by ground only. I'm not sure what the limit is for ground transport though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cigarsnscotch 0 Posted March 7, 2014 That business name kills me. Almost makes me believe it's not real, check out their page and look at the storefront, that zebra pattern they have going on is hilarious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
