zenen1 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 hello, i need some help regarding the shipment of chemical. I found some websites that ship international, while i was only looking for some 325 mesh spherical aluminum powder and some magnesium turnings i couldnt help but see that they were also selling potassium perchlorate. which I have been looking for for a very long time for use in colored star comps. So i was wondering if i was to order some potassium perchlorate shipped to canada would that get me marked as suspicious at the border?

Email them a question. They have to answer it, it's there job to help you comply with the law. Ask for their answers in writing, not verbally, a piece of paper is much more likely to have a researched and correct answer on it than a verbal response. Plus a piece of paper could be useful in the future if something goes sideways.
