Have tried to find Jersey`s government website for you, but Im not having much luck!
Are you looking to manufacture?,...........might be worth investigating, as it seems that the Tax Havens might be losing there status in the coming years, and therefore may welcome other outside industries/investment in return for jobs for the locals!
The only downside is I can think of, is where your market is on the island (too little perhaps), plus transport costs if you decide to export, but I maybe wrong!

Should anyone want to manufacture there remember that it's not a cheap labour economy there and any product will have to be approved for transport for sale in the UK.
Keep mannequins and watermelons away from fireworks..they always get hurt..

First link, some fee information on explosive magazines etc.
Revised Law
I have yet to find license fees though a license is granted by the minister and not an explosive inspectorate like our licenses, maybe though I am not sure this will work out cheaper.

I asked her father about this some time back who is now a retired police officer there. He put it simply to me when i asked about starting a display company there... it went something like...
We have our own government,,,
They choose most things on whether or not they collectively like the person applying for a licence or not. You can meet all requirements and they will quite often still say no. They like things as is and not change.
I wouldnt bother as they will mess you around and it will cost you alot of money.
Does anyone remember Rocket Man from Jersey?? Well he`s still sleeping in a caravan in a quarry ( over a year on ) next to 2 containers of bottle rockets because the state officials wouldnt let him fire them on the beach.
Its not an easy place to get a permit for anything, fireworks manufacture i can almost 100% say wouldnt be permitted there.
