It is required if the person engages in the business of selling or distributing reloads for the purpose of livelihood and profit. See:
[18 U.S.C. 922(a) (i) and 923(a), 27 CFR 478.41]
That is one reason why charging for time & effort is such a problem. It falls under the classification of compensation (like wages or any form of self employment).
In all states (with which my firm deals) that requires licensing, reporting, taxes (Federal, state, & local where applicable). Failure to properly license can have dire consequences in the event of legal actions such as a civil suit - or worse.
