1. Google helps

2. Are you not allowed to bring what you buy in Poland into Germany because you…

3. Commit a violation of the Explosives Act.

Points 2 and 3 are definitely not true.

Now let's be honest, nobody who intends to buy fireworks in Poland buys small, irrelevant quantities and nobody who buys in Poland buys fireworks that comply with German regulations with appropriate labeling

Not quite right, you are allowed to import something into Germany if it complies with German laws and labeling and does not exceed the minimum weight for transporting dangerous goods!

Transport is permitted year-round. However, under certain circumstances, customs officials may confiscate P1 goods.

For example, a microphone test or chasing birds away from a field. But it's pretty unrealistic to prove that on New Year's Eve 😉

But buying in Poland and shipping to Germany is legal, so if it's P1 and CE, right? What reason would be reason enough?

P1 is a thing of its own.

P1 may be purchased and kept by anyone aged 18 or over.

However, there needs to be a reason for lighting the fire. New Year's Eve isn't enough.

As an alternative to P1, single shots in F2 are quite good. For example, the Gaoo Hammer single shots. They also have a BKS set and pack a pretty good punch.

That's right, P1 is still allowed if I'm not mistaken, right?

For example, there are fireworks from the manufacturer Funke (a Polish manufacturer).

This company produces high-quality fireworks in F2 and with CE approval.

As long as you follow the 1000 point rule, it is perfectly legal to bring tested F2 fireworks across the border.

Short explanation:

1.3G Dangerous Goods => 50 points

1.4G Dangerous Goods => 3 points

So it is possible to transport 333kg of 1.4G fireworks or 20KG of 1.3G fireworks to Germany.

As soon as even one item is classified as 1.3G, every 1.4G item also becomes a 1.3G item.

In recent years, many people who enjoy setting off fireworks at New Year's have been buying their fireworks abroad to be on the safe side (see the ban on the sale of fireworks in recent years).
