Up to 5Kg - unlimited storage time no registration (some things still need an RCA but fuse is not one of them) At a glance guide for rocketry has exempt UNs specifically for rocketry use (UN 0186, 0272, 0349, 0351 and 0471). The Schedule 1 covers fuse - and that is for any purpose up to 5 Kg and covers UN 0101 - Quick match and UN 0454 Igniters which should cover e-matches. Hope this helps.

Is this commercial QM you are selling as if it is home made it won't have a UN number? How are you shipping it? and what price are you charging for it?

Very interesting! This certainly has crossover implications for pyros...

(but I don't think I'll be buying from the rocket store at £1.95 a metre!!!!)

I messaged about this and was told around £7 for 5 metres (About £1.40 a metre) prices negotiable, shipping if your in the uk it will be like £1 first class . (but most of the time its included in the price.)

hope this helps

[phildunford]

Errr - you can't ship hazardous materials first class... Royal Mail have no hazmat shipping whatsoever...

[dogsbody]

I thought that too, but i bought some from pyroworx (I think) and they posted it to me!

priceless, if it wasn't so tragic it would be funny....

[pyrotrev]

Yup, unfortunately sending anything pyrotechnic through the post is forbidden, I don't know if sniffer dogs can detect BP, but if they do and there's any terrorist alerts on, you might get a "knock on the door".

[phildunford]

The reason you can't send hazardous things though the post is simply to protect the staff.

The results of spills, breakages and fires could be very dangerous indeed to the people handling the post.

Now, I think they have gone too far in defining what is hazardous, but anyone trying to send truely dangerous things though the post should perhaps consider what they would think if the posty injured was one of their nearest and dearest...

[MDH]

Just ship through couriers then. Assuming the dangerous goods shipping in britain doesn't cost you your firstborn.

[Arthur Brown]

There are courier services that take 1.4 material, but it is rarely viable for small packs simply for the cost.

MOST firework shops will sell QM to people that they know are safe and competent. Same with igniters they are 1.4S so almost relaxed transport rules. Still no post office though.


You are not allowed to send flammable items through the post. However my mother always rolled up paper to light fires and we write on that and send it as non flam!!!!

Post is for papers do not send any kind of firework by post.

aparentlythese have their own rating and arent cat 4 but some companies do tret them as cat 4 goods!
