Why am I charged a HazMat fee for pyrotechnics?
Common carriers charge a Hazardous Materials fee of $28.50 on all shipments of pyrotechnics regardless of size.
Occasionally we receive orders for 100 rounds, but since this is a set fee, it makes sense to purchase larger quantities. If you purchase 200 rounds, for example, the price of shipping will cost $28.50 less than the order for 100 rounds. If you purchase 300, 400, or up to 2000 rounds, the HazMat fee is still the same $28.50. So it makes sense to buy as many as you might need in one shipment. In addition, there is always the incremental savings in shipping.
