We Americans have ammo available in the market place that comes from nearly all four corners of the globe. Anywhere that ammo is made commercially and there is a conduit to get it to the US, you can probably find it at a store somewhere in the states.
Some people have a bias against foreign ammo, perhaps out of fear of poor quality control. While those fears may or may not be warranted, I try to always buy American made ammo out of loyalty to my American bothers and sisters who make the ammunition and need our support.
Regardless,Imported ammo is very popular and getting more so. Ammuniton imports into the United States have been increasing at a rate of 100% (doubling every year) for the last 3 years.
At any rate here is the list of ones I found, I am sure there are others that I missed (feel free to leave a comment).

And from Mexico we have Aquila & CI

The Italians have been exporting Fiocchi brand ammo to the US for decades
They recently added another brand: Perfecta, which I believe is also made by Fiocchi

Hot Shot ammo is made in the same factory (from what I have read) in the Ukraine and marketed by Century Arms
From Hungary we have MFS ammunition

This ZQ1 ammo is made by a company called "MKE", ZQ1 hails from Turkey

PPU means Prvi Partizan Uzice. Uzice is a city in Serbia and as far as I'm aware, PPU ammo is made in Serbia. And is quite good ammo.
