The Customs General Authority Mongolia has launched a month-long campaign banning illegal pyrotechnic devices, as it has in recent years, as fireworks have been one of the leading causes of injuries over the holiday.

During the campaign, customs officers will conduct random inspections of automobiles and individuals suspected of containing and carrying pyrotechnic devices illegally; prohibit non-standard, unlicensed pyrotechnic devices without a license (salute, Bengal lights, and wireworks); work closely with other law enforcement units to handle illegal fireworks cases, exchanging information; and receive and investigate reports and complaints about illegal attempts to carry pyrotechnic devices across the border.

Only two entities have been granted permission to import and trade pyrotechnic devices. Permission is issued by the National Emergency Management Agency, and monitored by the General Agency for Specialized Inspection and the Customs General Authority.
