unfortunately, due to export restrictions (ITAR) on military related products - its not really feasible to do so without some relatively expensive paperwork with uncle sam. which is why 'common' brass - and other military/firearm related stuff - here is so expensive when we ship it out to other nations. even friendly's.
and its not worth trying to be sneaky about it either. if you get busted by customs shipping it, you get a one time "oops i didnt know" get out of jail free card (goojfc for short) - which requires a signed affidavit saying you understand that this is your once and only GOOJFC and then face some serious financial penalty's for future violations. Civil penalty's max out at $500k, and criminal violations can result in penalty's up to $1m and as much as 10 years wearing a lovely striped jumpsuit and paper slippers.
sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but i've been down that road already, and my G00JFC got used up trying to help a buddy down in NZ with some LC762 brass he wanted to convert to 7mm08. at least they let me get my brass back.
