CEDAR CITY, Utah USA ? Natural Resources Canada (NRC) has revised its shipping classification for a number of popular AeroTech model rocket motors. The motors are now classified as UN class 1.4C.



Previously, these motors were classified as class 1.3C in Canada which made them extremely difficult and expensive to ship. The new classification enables these motors to be shipped using the same means as other model rocket motors, and will help to make them more widely available in Canada.



The motors affected include:



E15-PW, E15-4W, E15-7W E30-4T, E30-7T F20-4W, F20-7W F23-4FJ, F23-7FJ F25-4W, F25-6W, F25-9W F50-4T, F50-6T, F50-9T



NRC also revised the classification for the AeroTech F14J, which is no longer in production.



AeroTech wishes to thank NRC officials for their revision of the classifications.



The revised approval certificate may be downloaded in PDF format from the Resource Library on the AeroTech website at

Like many of the distributors, dealers and shippers ever handled them otherwise until TC/DG and ERD pointed this minor detail out. Good for AT getting this cleared up finally.
