Official source
What the official source says
The New York State Police NICS program states that licensed dealers conduct an ammunition background check through the state system for ammunition sales. The state gun safety site states that the law requires licensed dealers to contact the New York State Police to run a background check on prospective ammunition buyers.
Quoted: "No commercial transfer of ammunition shall take place unless a licensed dealer in firearms or registered seller of ammunition acts as an intermediary between the transferor and the ultimate transferee of the ammunition for the purposes of contacting the statewide license and record database pursuant to this section. Such transfer between the dealer or seller, and transferee must occur in person." (New York Penal Law section 400.03(7), NY Senate, checked )

- New York City: NYC Admin Code 10-306 allows rifle or shotgun ammo only to a holder of a city permit and registration certificate who shows it to the dealer (source, checked )

How shipping rules are sourced
Each row comes from the retailer's own published shipping page. As of CT (latest check), tracked retailers have a sourced policy on file, covering 53 states and territories (590 rows). Each row stores the retailer's wording, the source link and the date checked. A retailer with no row for a state counts as shipping there, except in states whose law restricts ammo shipping: there it shows as check retailer unless its own policy names the state's conditions.
