| Subject | Approval for the import of gunpowder and other explosives in the locality where the importer has his address | ||
| Details of Measures | It was explained that the Explosives Control Law seeks to clarify exactly where explosives are at every stage of their manufacture, sales, transfer, receipt, use, etc. and to regulate handling at each stage to prevent misuse and hence to ensure public safety. Accordingly, imported explosives are currently regulated at the point of import, and it is impossible for a local government where the explosives are not actually located to issue any approvals. | ||
