The UPS and FedEx tariffs cited by me above include a number of requirements the shipper must satisfy for the carrier to accept, transport and deliver a package containing a firearm. These are part of the contract between the shipper and the carrier.
As such if you ship something by UPS or FedEx and have not complied with those requirements, you have breached your contract with the carrier. One possible consequence is that if your shipment is lost or damaged, UPS or FedEx, as the case may be, would have legal grounds upon which to avoid any insurance claim.

However, certain requirement regarding the shipment of ammunition are not purely the carrier's requirement. They are legal requirements arising from Department of Transportation regulations.
