Question about importation of relic ammunition

    Hi, I was considering buying this as a gift for someone, it's a .50BMG case and bullet recovered from a B17 that crashed in WW2, and I was wondering would I need to fill in any forms as it could be considered importing ammunition.
    Obviously it's in a completely unusable state, but considering in another thread it's been said that importing air rifle pellets constitutes importing of ammunition I thought I would ask here, as I would have guessed those wouldn't be considered ammunition in the eyes of the law, so I don't really know what the law really states about any of this.
    If you could help that would be great, thanks.
