caps are fine to sell, in my opinion they are not hazerdous, or as hazerdous as the fuel tank under the delivery vehicle. When I was a mailman lots of folks shipped drugs and weed with us. Pretty sure that was against the law.
Be careful how you answer the questions.

It's not legal to send them thru the mail and if you do it anyway (on the sly) the bomb detectors will go nuts and life will be very unpleasant for you.
Fedex and UPS might ship 'em if you pay the $27 hazmat fee. I heard once that you have to have some kind of hazmat certification though...And I'm pretty sure they have bomb detectors these days too....
Not worth the trouble IMHO.
I wonder if I said bomb enough times to get a 2AM visit from the gestapo...

While I have never tried to mail caps, I wouldn't think that there would be a problem. I have received loaded ammo and primed brass through the mail from mail order companies and they were not required to pay a HazMat fee. However, if you were to try to send smokeless or black powder, they would require a HazMat fee. The rules don't always make sense. :idunno:

I collect vintage cap tins and have purchased a few dozen on on-line auctions, some tins 100 yrs old and still sealed. Got them at the post office just fine, no problems.
If the tin is closed, I think the scanners must show it just like a Burt's Bees Lip balm tin. About the same size.

percussion caps are a 1.4 exposive per USDOT. No matter who you ship them with, you would be required to follow the proper HM shipping regulations for package markings. I dont know if the post office would accept them.
No doubt people do ship them via USPS or for hire carrier like UPS and not declared as a haz mat. That does not mean that they did it legal.
