About time too. My business now is fireworks and I have difficulty in getting items transported by road. I have reported cases where individuals have been ordering illegal fireworks from Europe, in particular Spain and France, and these have been delivered to the UK in "brown boxes" on commercial flights.

One of the boxes I saw (and reported) was flown into Birmingham and the net explosive content was in excess of 5kg of Hazard Type 1 product!
