I lived in NYS many moons ago so I'm familiar with their gun laws. Shipping brass to someone should no different than anything else. It could go in a flat rate box with no problem. I've been away from that state for a while and would never go back so I could be wrong. If I had it to ship to a friend I'd just do it. It's by no means dangerous and it's not live ammo, powder or primers.
mailing Once fired brass to NY?

The above proves that persons unversed in the New York Interim Safe Chocolate Chip Cookie Protection Act (the NYISCCCP Act) should not be rendering opinions thereon.
In particular, under the NYISCCCP, cookies capable of holding more than 7 chips are prohibited but cookies owned before the Act's effective date capable of holding up to 10 chips are grandfathered in.
Note, as enacted the NYISCCCP limited the grandfathered 10 chip capable cookies to only being loaded with up to 7 chips, but this was deemed by the Courts to be arbitrary and capricious. If it had been my case I would have argued that a deranged grandfather with a high capacity cookie would not be deterred by a statute making it illegal to keep his cookie fully loaded.

It is good to hear that everyone in NY is now SAFE!
Just to be really really safe you might want to deprime the brass and wash it really well as there may be powder or lead residue on it!
Only if you are shipping to the left coast.
Want to bet that the talking heads will state that it is!
Nope.
It will be like Magazines that once used, you throw them away!
Oh please. Where is your info. coming from, Wikipedia ? You can ship all the brass that you want to NY. Priority mail if you choose.
Uh, actually it is. I know of previously convicted felons prosecuted for possessing a spent casing . . .
18 USC 921
(17)
(A) The term "ammunition" means ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellent powder designed for use in any firearm.

You are incorrect. I just recently purchased ammo on line and had it delivered to my front door.
In MA, it might as well be. Possession of one .22LR case by an unlicensed individual is illegal. OTOH, it is not even clear that internet sales of ammo are illegal. However, the AG did extort many large dealers into agreeing not to sell to MA residents. AFAIK, she is no longer doing that, but the agreements are still in place.
If it makes sense to prohibit certain individuals from possessing ammunition it follows that the possession of ammunition components should be prohibited as well.
However, it would be a real bum deal to face a felony rap in a place like Massachusetts because I lawfully went to the range outside of Massachusetts sometime in the past and someone else's spent case ejected and ended up in my pant cuff. I can count and keep track of my spent cases, usually six at time
, but it's a real trick to keep track of everyone's else's.

Evidently a wise man visiting MA (an oxymoron?) would do well to have cuff-less and pocket-less trousers.
You can't ship them in.....
You can't ship them in. They're fattening.
PS: I think that brass, being totally inert, wouldn't be prohibited but that's probably because I'm not a total idiot.

I have spent most of the last 3 years in NY .
My "take" on NY laws are anti gun anything.
Once again this only my observation.
If someone wants to mail spent brass to NY, go ahead , I don't care.
Good luck.

Question was "can I LEGALLY...." Not what is your "observation"

1: That definition of a shell casing as ammunition is nationwide federal law, not just in Massachusetts.
2: Fortunately, violations of law generally include the term "knowingly and/or intentionally . . . "

This is like the response I get when I say I live in Illinois. If you say you live in Illinois everybody thinks it's the same as Chicago. It's not. Not even close.
I lived in Texas for a long time and I was surprised to find "Downstate" Illinois every bit, and maybe more, conservative than Texas.
I've mailed myself brass several times when I've gone to a range out of town (not going to try and take it on a plane). It almost always gets opened and inspected, as I put the brass back in the original cartons and I'm sure it looks like ammo on an x-ray. I think it gets flagged because the return address is the same as the shipping address.
As for NY State I think I'd listen to the guys that live there.

And don't wear a hoodie!
I'm always digging spent brass out of that damn hood after a trip to my indoor range!

Let's see..... mailing once fired brass to NY by a private individual to another private individual. Me...it would have been done already but that is NOT a legal opinion. If you want to feel better-pack them in coffee grounds and vacuum seal them to thwart the dogs and you should be fine.
Everything's illegal in Massachusetts.You forgot Ma.

And then the recipient gets free coffee included in the deal. Bonus!
Why isn't everybody already doing this?
