I have some extra cases of tannerite that I won't be using. Does anybody know if it's legal for me to do a FTF sale here in Texas to get rid of a couple of cases?
WHY IS TANNERITE™ LEGAL? Answer: Manufacturing is a commerce issue governed by the feds. Page 58 CFR 5400.7 General Q&A Section, new edition: #36. When is a Federal manufacturing license required? "A manufacturer's license is needed ONLY by persons engaged in the business of manufacturing explosives materials for SALE, DISTRIBUTION, or for BUSINESS use. For example, persons engaged in the business of providing a blasting service using explosives of their own manufacture would be required to have a license. Persons who manufacture explosives for their personal, NON-commercial use would not need a license."
The CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) had taken it upon themselves to try and stop the sales of raw chemicals that could be used for the manufacture of firecrackers. Tannerite Exploding Target company does not sell raw chemicals to build firecrackers. In an effort to work in concert with federal agencies, Tannerite agreed to not sell raw, pyro-related chemicals that are commonly used to build firecrackers (even though there is no particular law against that type of business). In fact, Tannerite is still a legal product, and is specifically exempted by CPSC agency in writing.
and the components are unregulated
there is no such thing as extra tannerite. put into larger containers like 2 liter bottles and make it go boom.
The prilled AN is quite regulated now
