 Hi,

 There have been some pretty big changes in the shipping and license
 regulations
 for use of Nomatch Shocktube.  I don't want to take up a lot of space here.
 Basically, BATF has decided that it will continue to regulate use, and it
 must
 be shipped as a Class 1.4S explosive ( requiring Dangerous Goods handling ). 
 A
 BATF license will be required for purchase and use.  Unless you have the
 shocktube shipped to the facility where it will be used ( and use all of it
 there ), then you'll be required to have a type IV or higher explosives
 magazine in which to store unused tubing.

 We've prepared a one page sheet with full information, it can be faxed or
 found
 online at:
