Taking sporting ammunition out of Saudi Arabia

Details

Sporting ammunition falls under the same export-control framework as firearms in Saudi Arabia (the national firearms-control legislation) — advance export authorisation is required alongside the traveller's firearms documentation. Airlines separately limit ammunition to 5 kg per passenger, securely boxed in checked baggage, under IATA dangerous-goods provisions, and require advance declaration. Destination import permits are required at essentially all destinations.
