No. 8 Blasting Cap
A standard detonating cap used in mining and quarrying operations to initiate the detonation of high explosives like dynamite. It consists of a small metal shell containing a primary explosive charge sensitive to shock or percussion. Classified under HTS 3603.40.00.00 as a detonating cap designed for blasting purposes.
Non-Electric Delay Blasting Cap
A detonating cap incorporating a pyrotechnic delay element that allows for timed detonation sequences in tunnel blasting. The cap uses a shock-sensitive primary explosive initiated by a fuse. Falls under HTS 3603.40.00.00 due to its function as a non-electric detonating cap.
