Ammo Identification Act of 2023
HR 4330, the Ammo Identification Act of 2023, requires ammunition importers and manufacturers to engrave a unique serial number on each round of ammunition they produce or import. This change applies specifically to licensed ammunition makers and importers (not retailers or consumers) and updates existing firearm regulations to include ammunition identification. The serial numbers must follow rules set by the Attorney General, and the law takes effect two years after enactment. This is a direct policy change adding traceability requirements for ammunition, similar to existing rules for firearms.
