I am haz-mat transportation specialist. I primarily design and test UN certified packaging, but I work with many explosive companies.
One does not need to be "licensed shipper" to ship hazmat--but one does need to be trained in the regulations to offer haz-mat for shipment. UPS does not do one off shipments, they require a require a contract and a rep to do this. Fed-Ex will take hazmat at the counter, but it must be properly prepared for shipment.
I will need to look up the particular packing instruction when I get in tomorrow--I don' keep my books at home, but I may well be able to supply off the shelf packaging for shipping. I don't know how much of a need there is for this.
I want to emphasize that it is a bad idea to ignore the hazmat regulations and ship undeclared explosives. There is much focus in enforcement on this these days and if caught, the trouble will be substantial.
If you sell this stuff to local people and deliver it yourself there is no problem--as long as you are not offering it for shipment "in commerce."
