To be classified as “consumer fireworks”, fireworks must be tested by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and meet various requirements regarding the composition, amount of pyrotechnic material and stability of the product under heat and stress. Once the CPSC has classified an item as “consumer fireworks,” the item is legal for consumers under federal law. Fireworks that do not meet this certification are classified as commercial (show) fireworks and require a federal license to purchase and use them. US Fireworks only sells consumer fireworks certified for consumer use by the CPSC. Because federal law applies to interstate commerce, we can legally ship fireworks anywhere in the United States.
