    Shouldn't be a problem. I found the article below a month or two ago but I'm afraid I can't remember where I got it.

    Those that are banned for import as of the middle of next year are:

    Thales / ADI Mulwala NSW Australia manufactured:
    IMR Trail Boss + 8208 XBR
    Hodgdon H4198, H322, H. Benchmark, H4895, H. VarGet, H4350, H4831/4831sc, H1000, H. Retumbo, H50BMG

    Ball powders manufactured by general Dynamics St. Marks Florida:
    Hodgdon H110, H335, H380, H. BL-C(2), H414, US869, Hybrid 100V, H. SuperFORMANCE; H. LeverEVOLUTION
    Winchester 748, 760

    IMR powders manufactured by General Dynamics Canada, Valleyfield, Quebec Province
    IMR 4227, 4198, 3031, 4064, 4895, 4320, 4350, 4831, 7828/7828ssc


    Unaffected and remaining are:

    Hodgdon L'il Gun and maybe with luck CFE223 (not yet CE certified under the new regulations)
    Some Hodgdon shotgun / pistol grades - 700X, 800X, Clays, International, Universal
    Hodgdon Pyrodex and other black powder substitutes

    New IMR pistol / revolver powders - Red, Target, Green, Unequal, Blue

    New IMR 'Enduron' Rifle powders - IMR-4166 (4895/VarGet alternative); IMR-4451 (4350 alternative); IMR-4955 (4831 alternative); IMR-7977 (7828/H1000/Retumbo alternative, also H50BMG / US869 for some applications)

    IMR-4166/4451/7977 are here now - and are very good products indeed - 4955 has yet to arrive

    Plus everything from:

    Alliant ATK in the Reloder rifle powder series (they are made either by Bofors or Nitrochemie in Europe)
    Can't comment on Alliant pistol grades such as Unique - so a question mark there, but they have been reformulated in recent years.

    Bofors (Some Alliant and all Norma grades)

    Explosia a.s., Czech Republic - Lovex brand extruded and ball powders (previously branded Accurate Arms in the UK)

    Nitrochemie Wimmins a.g., Switzerland - Reload Swiss brand powders

    PB Clermont, Belgium (part of Eurenco Group) - Ramshot ball powders.

    SNPE (various, part of the Eurenco Group) - Vectan extruded (Tu) and ball (SP) powders

    Vihtavuori (part of Nammo) - all Vihtavuori 300, 100, and 500 series extruded powders
