    I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone imports them into the UK.
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    It probably has do with supply and demand , Every explosive catagory has a un number associated with it ie:0027/0028 black powder granulated or in compressed pellets.

    But pyrodex will have a different un number with it and you may not be able to ship it with other explosive/propellants without extra costs and there is the problem ,there is not enough demand for it to warrent the extra cost.

    Pyrodex pellets

    Hi Griff
    You might try some of the rocketeers shops such as http://www.rocketstore.co.uk/shop.aspx they say they sell pyrodex pellets.

    Also this link is worth a look as it deals with powder types etc

    Good luck
