27 CFR Ch. II (4–1–17 Edition)

(ii) The location, date, and shift of

operates his plant for only one shift
during the day, he does not need to
show the shift of manufacture.
(2) Licensed importers. (i) Licensed importers who import explosive materials
for sale or distribution must place the
following marks of identification on
the explosive materials they import:
(A) The name and address (city and
state) of the importer; and
(B) The location (city and country)
where the explosive materials were
manufactured, date, and shift of manufacture. Where the foreign manufacturer operates his plant for only one
shift during the day, he does not need
to show the shift of manufacture.
(ii) Licensed importers must place
the required marks on all explosive
materials imported prior to distribution or shipment for use, and in no
event later than 15 days after the date
of release from Customs custody.
(c) General requirements. (1) The required marks prescribed in this section
must be permanent and legible.
(2) The required marks prescribed in
this section must be in the English language, using Roman letters and Arabic
numerals.
(3) Licensed manufacturers and licensed importers must place the required marks on each cartridge, bag, or
other immediate container of explosive
materials that they manufacture or
import, as well as on any outside container used for the packaging of such
explosive materials.
(4) Licensed manufacturers and licensed importers may use any method,
or combination of methods, to affix the
required marks to the immediate container of explosive materials, or outside containers used for the packaging
thereof, provided the identifying marks
are legible, permanent, show all the required information, and are not rendered unreadable by extended periods
of storage.
(5) If licensed manufacturers or licensed importers desire to use a coding
system and omit printed markings on
the container that show all the required information specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this section,
they must file with ATF a letterhead
application displaying the coding that

they plan to use and explaining the
manner of its application. The Director
must approve the application before
the proposed coding can be used.
(d) Exceptions—(1) Blasting caps. Licensed manufacturers or licensed importers are only required to place the
identification marks prescribed in this
section on the containers used for the
packaging of blasting caps.
(2) Alternate means of identification.
The Director may authorize other
means of identifying explosive materials, including fireworks, upon receipt
of a letter application from the licensed manufacturer or licensed importer showing that such other identification is reasonable and will not
hinder the effective administration of
this part.
