Is it necessary to declare ammo secured in your check-in baggage? No firearm. Just a couple/few boxes of ammo.
Please let us know where in the regs it says ammo by itself in a checked bag must be declared. Same for the 5 kilos.
It may be well known but I haven't found it.
Thanks
A call to the "carrier" ref your question would certainly get a factual answer.
What make you think that? The airline might well have a variety of remedies for someone who violates the terms of their ticket -- like voiding the ticket and leaving you to find another way to get home.Speedo66 said:.... I would think as long as TSA rules are satisfied, a passenger should be fine if they keep with the old military rule of don't ask, don't tell.
Uh, no they do not. One must declare only the firearm, and abide by the individual airline's rule pertaining to maximum ammo weight, as stated, typically 11 pounds.An additional thought: Rules and regs say declare ammo
Then 11 lb limit is not a hard and fast policy among all airlines
As an example last I checked Alaska Airlines allowed 50 lbs. For hunters I assume
check the airline web site as they determine weight limits, not the FAA or TSA.
