Check with the US post orifice. They will be able to tell you.
There is a lot of misinformation on the internet about sending across US Borders. One cannot send out anything without an accurate explanation of the material. Once it is found to be "implements of war". which includes everything used by the military, (including medical and commo supplies), an application for export is required. The application will have to clear Customs and the State Dept and be approved.
You will hear from many that they just send all the time without having a problem. It just means they have not been caught yet.
I send nothing over borders.
I just talked with my Post Master. She say's no problem.
It's the guys Mr. Ricca speaks of that get me nervous. Let alone those in Japan.
Call it 'Big Brother' syndrome.
I was asked by a potential buyer of a stock I have on auction, about shipping it to Japan.
I looked back thru his feedback and see he's got a Repro flip and Hand guard from some here in the states. 1 being Northridge.
I think I'll lay low on this one.
With my luck......I'll send out a $75.00 stock and get 'THAT KNOCK ON THE DOOR'

Ramboueille,
I take Mr. Ricca's word to the bank.
He's had plenty more dealings than I've had.
That potential buyer has already run off at the mouth.
I'll burn it before I'd send it to him.
Appreciate ya'lls help

I don't think I would bother trying Charlie.
i agree, put an accurate discription of the contents, tell them it a " piece of wood"
That could get you into just as much trouble with the Dept of Agriculture. International shipment of plant materials is closely regulated too.
Not only going out is a problem, coming in the country is another problem. There are many guys importing in parts from Italy and Canada and if they get caught, it will be a severe problem.
Circa 1984 a guy from Italy sent me a box of Garand parts. About two weeks after opening it and selling off most of the parts, I noticed on his export form the words "Typewriter parts".
