Bealine,
There is a "normal" way to ship the fireworks around the world.
China Shipping, COSCO and Maersk allow to ship fireworks in the containers.
The restrictions are:
1. Classes: 1.4S, 1.4G and 1.3G , nothing else.
2. They must have a Dangerous Goods Declaration Form for each container.
3. They require to have a "powder list" with detailed description what is inside, diameter, kind of firework, total powder weight, flash composition weight etc... BEFORE container is loaded on board the ship.
4. Sometimes they require to have an ADR certificate clearly saying that the product fall in a 1.4 or 1.3 class.
5. You have to pay extra 3000 US$.
Most of fireworks all around the world are made in China or Taiwan, the reason is.... they have over 1000 years tradition of making it. The price is no longer a main factor in this business.
That's all
p.s. Sorry for my english.
