Re: Brownells, USPS, SA Post Office
USPS First Class International is not parcel post - it is envelope mail and does not track in SA https://www.usps.com/international/f...ernational.htm
USPS International Priority does not track in SA untill an "II" number has been allocated.
USPS International Express provides tracking all the way as well as insurance.

ITAR covers exports from the US. If an item is regulated by ITAR, it may not be exported without a $250 licence for the shipment. There is a $100 grace limit - an order with regulated items totaling less than this limit does not need the per-shipment licence (Other licences are still required, which Brownells have. Most US dealers don't, which is why they won't ship internationally, even for items under $100). This all applies at the time of placing the order.
Firearm parts being imported into South Africa require an import permit, which you can get for free from ITAC. The permit will be requested at the time of the order being processed for South African customs, but usually, only couriers do this. SAPO usually ignores it.

Re: Brownells, USPS, SA Post Office
Hi, would some please take the time to detail the process with actual steps and links to required documents or can you point me to a thread where it already exists?

Re: Brownells, USPS, SA Post Office
Hi Khumba.
My package from Brownells was a parcel (35cms x 25cms x 18cms) and when I finally received it, it carried a SA Post Office 'Incoming International Parcel' label with tracking number II 304 006 ***ZA.
The problem was that it took SA Post Office forever to process the parcel once it had arrived from the USA and to then allocate it a ZA tracking number.
Bipz...hope that my earlier post in this topic (yesterday) was of some help to you.
Regards.
Keith.

Re: Brownells, USPS, SA Post Office
Yes I can also vouch for Brownells. They sell great quality products at good prices. They get a couple thousand dollars from me every year and I've never had an issue. The only pain is getting brass & projectiles from them is more painful than Reloading International, who do all the paperwork for you.
