The licence includes authorization to transport the imported explosives to the place of destination. We would recall the obligation to obtain the prior authorization of the Public Security Authorities of the place of destination; if the materials are imported in very large quantities, the Public Security Authorities of the transit provinces must be notified in good time. Transit of explosives; pyrotechnic products; matches; pyrophoric alloys; certain combustible preparations A licence from the Prefect of the Province through which the materials enter the State is required, under the terms of the last paragraph of article 54 of the Catalogue of Public Security Laws.
