I will take a small amount of Holy Black with me. I checked with Fed EX and they stated I can ship it to myself at my new address under hazmat and signature required. I was under the impression that you could not do this. Apparently you can.
When moving to a New State....

Why not take it all with you?. If it is 25 pounds and under you can transport it yourself. I believe that is Federal Law. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Who knows what your moving, also it would be better to just take it with you and stay quiet.
Good suggestions Fellas. That I-95 is a pain in the butt as to what you can transport. You have to take alternates because of the tunnel restrictions. Even propane is limited to 10 pounds.
Thats a good question....
Wow all I can say is Wow.
Absolutely !
Would just move & take it with me.

Don't let the highway patrol look in the vehicle no matter how polite he is. Who cares if he brings a drug dog?

All well and good until something goes wrong. Accidents happen, and criminal negligence is real.
Ship it to yourself. It's cheaper than an attorney.

NY limits one to 5 lbs in a personal vehicle, with rules on what it is stored in and where in the vehicle (ie not in a trailer.) Plus it must be placarded.
Not that I recommend it, but..... Many years ago I left a shooting match down South to head back North with my brother's conversion van with propane stove and two full kegs of 3F with the rest of my gear. My "western route" (81) was blocked by an accident so I came up the eastern corridor (95). I shook every time I went by the "banned items" list on the highway. I could just hear Harry Chapin's line "it sure musta been something..."

I can not speak to individual state requirements.
When you transport BP for personal use, it is not regulated by the USDOT. Most states adopt the USDOT regulations verbatim, with a few exceptions.
When I buy a case of 25 lbs of black powder for personal use, I can transport it in my personal vehicle without placarding, as I am not regulated by the USDOT.
ATF does not regulate transportation.
You can ship it via a for hire carrier like Fed Ex. However, I would not. You would have to know what you are doing, and most people simply dont have that knowledge and training to do it legally.
I would put it in my car and transport it myself.

As would I, and I have the Ft. McHenry Tunnel as well as the Chesapeak Bay Tunnel with which to contend, depending on the location of the event(s) that I am attending. When I go to New Jersey, my powder is pre-rolled into cartridges, and in an ammo can. It's not "ammunition" as it does not have a projectile NOR do I carry any loose projectiles to show the tourists. IF I was to be stopped by a LEO, my answer as to am I carrying any live ammunition for my musket would be a truthful "No".

Funny, that's the exact first thoughts that came to mind,. even typed it out then deleted it, thanks for posting what so many are thinking.
I did not know about such regulations about traveling on a move with this substance. That why I put the post out there. I know that some of you do travel with re-enactments and I figured that I could not have come to a better place for information on the subject. I only moved small quantities between Nj & Pa. to go to a club. I appreciate the feedback from all. Some times it ok to say I dont Know...so I asked....
Worked with some fellows from NJ. After hearing the hoops they jump through with state laws-and not only firearms laws-I just stay out of there. Which is a shame, as I love the marshes along the Delaware Bay in Salem and Cumberland Counties.
No doubt there is some beautiful areas up north where I live. Its just that the whole shabang has been driven into the ground by those who run things. (Trenton) Time to get out.

Most times it pays to just keep the piehole closed!!
My father used to say the Lord gave you two ears and one mouth. Remember the ratio when you go to use them.
