How bulk crackers are transported across India
Crackers go by road with carriers licensed to move fireworks. Never by courier, rail or air.
Road only
Fireworks are explosives under Indian law. Couriers, railways and airlines do not carry them. Bulk orders move by road with transport companies licensed to carry fireworks.

Delivery to the transport office
Most consignments arrive at the carrier's godown in or near your city. You collect from there with your copy of the invoice. Door delivery depends on the carrier and your location. Your quote says which applies.
Book early
In the last three weeks before Diwali every carrier is full. Orders placed in August and September travel faster and cheaper.

How to start a crackers shop for Diwali
A seasonal cracker stall can pay back in three weeks, if the licence is in place and the stock mix is right.
Crackers licence: what a shop needs to sell fireworks
No licence, no stock. Here is what a shop needs before the first carton arrives.
GST on crackers: rate, HSN code and invoices
Crackers are taxed at 18% GST. A proper invoice on your purchase lets a registered shop claim it back.
Crackers shop margin: what a shop really earns
Every box has a printed MRP far above the trade rate. Very few shops sell at full MRP, so plan your margin on a discounted selling price.
What stock to buy for a crackers shop
Half your money in the fast movers, the rest spread across the items that make the bigger bills.
Storing crackers safely in a shop or godown
Stock that is stored well stays safe and sells. Damp or damaged crackers do neither.
