Yup..
The Danish market and rules
- Topicstarter Schuim

Rockets are most likely too expensive now to be imported. I heard last week from a big player in Belgium they do not expect new rockets to come over from China this year.
That's interesting
They have talked for a few years now about stopping the usage of rockets, reasoning they are too dangerous and unreliable
That's why they banned them here.That's interesting

Same with candles, firecrackers and singleshots.
Are firecrackers/bangers still legal in Denmark?
Nope. Haven't been legal since the late 80s.
Single shots and candles are still legal, but they are probably gonna disappear soon. Especially candles are always in the Media around new years because of the not intended way to use them

Sounds familiar!
sad to read you have the same problems
One is Mermaid.
Was available in the Netherlands in the gray ciquit about 15 years ago.
Well 2 major importes. The largest is http://www.fyreks.dk/ who delivers to a lot of different Supermarkets and other stores as well as some fireworks brand stores (Royal Fireworks, First Class Fireworks, Krudtteltet etc.) They also have ca. 5 no name brands.
They also do some B2B on F4 for proff.
Then there is a car accessories store called T-Hansen who also owns AFAC which always has been the largest brand until around 10 years ago.
These 2 companies has together around 80-85 % of the market.
Here is a short list of som of the smaller companies.
DPA (Dansk Pyro Art) - import their own products from china. Also the largest Proff B2B business in DK (I think)
J-Fireworks (the one we already have talked a lot about)
Krudt Kongen, fyr mester and Fyrværkeren anbefaler (also partly part of fyrværkerieksperten (fyreks.dk)
H.C. Andersen fest fyrværkeri (basically part of PGE)
Next Level Fireworks - fairly new (started 2 years ago)
Then there are some smaller shops who have other European product such as all the dutch mention earlier, Klasek, Funke, Jorge, Tropic etc. This is just not that widespread.
Here is a link to a lot of Danish catalogues through the years:
What is that? I have never heard of it

Wellcome here Kjartan, it's good to have some international fireworks lovers on the forum.
Very interested information you have given so far.
Can you tell us more? As above allready asked:
-what are the rules about buying and selling fireworks?
Here in the Netherlands we have nowedays many companies who sell fireworks as an extra, while their core-business is something completely different. Many of them have websites where it is possible to order fireworks year round, but by law it's only legal to pick them up the last 3 days of the year. ( except the last 2 shitty years).
-What are the legal hours to light off fireworks F2, F3? Here only 8 hours a year. (31st of december 18.00 untill 02.00).
-How crazy is Denmark in generall about fireworks ? Do many people buy them? The netherlands really love them, many foreigners think we are crazy. Which is partly true, but a couple of years ago I've celebrated new years eve on Iceland and by far it was more insane there.

Sadly no
You can buy from December 15th until December 31st.
You are allowed to lit it from December 27th until January 1st

Where can we sign for such legislation?
You can buy from December 15th until December 31st.
You are allowed to lit it from December 27th until January 1st
Before 2014 you could buy from December 1st until December 31st and lit from December 1st until January 5th.
Most stores also have fireworks as a second business here. There are a few stores who have delivery. There have been some talks about the year long sale and then pick up from December 15th until December 31st but that is sadly not available yet.
No time limit within 27th until January 1st but i think that you could get in some trouble if you are making too much noise. Also no difference on F2 and F3.
I think only around 50% of house holds buy fireworks, but there have lately been a increase of how much is bought. Sales are around 450 million DKK (ca. 60 Million Euro) with a population of ca. 5,8 million people.
I have sadly never held new years anywhere else than Denmark so I don't really think I am available to compare
Wow, that are some decent numbers!
The yearly numbers in the legal market here are between 75 and 80 million, and rising, on a population of 17,5 million.
But there are guesses that the market in illegal fireworks combined with sales outside the country (in Belgium and Germany) are at least matching.
How is the illegal market in Denmark? Are the numbers (as far as they can be guessed) high or?
The market over here is flooded with "bangers" like Cobra's and other explosives. But also shells are getting more and more common.
