Exemption from the obligation to obtain a permit according to explosives law
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIf you wish to handle or deal with explosive substances in the commercial sector and already have a permit for the same activities in accordance with Section 21 of the Weapons Act, you do not require a permit in accordance with the Explosives Act.
You are also exempt from the permit requirement under § 7 SprengG if you have neither a domicile or permanent residence nor a branch in Germany and wish to import, export, carry out or transfer explosive substances to Germany. The prerequisite is that the transportation is accompanied by a holder of a certificate of competence in accordance with § 20 SprengG or by a person who has been commissioned in writing by the federal government or a federal state to accompany you.
An application for exemption from the permit requirement is not necessary. The exemption comes into force by law.
