U.S.C. §§ 842(a)-(e), (h), (i), (l)-(o), (p)(2), 844(d), (g), 1716;
26 U.S.C. § 5685. Application Notes:1. "Explosive material(s)" include explosives, blasting agents, and detonators. See 18
U.S.C. § 841(c). "Explosives" is defined at 18 U.S.C. § 844(j).
A destructive device, defined in the Commentary to §1B1.1 (Application
Instructions), may contain explosive materials. Where the conduct charged in
the count of which the defendant was convicted establishes that the offense
involved a destructive device, apply §2K2.1 (Unlawful Receipt, Possession,
Firearms or Ammunition) if the resulting offense level is greater.2. For purposes of this guideline: "Controlled substance offense" has the meaning given that term in §4B1.2(b)

Exclude the weight of any other shipping or packaging materials. For example,
the paper and fuse on a stick of dynamite would be included; the box that the
dynamite was shipped in would not be included. 6. For purposes of calculating the weight of explosive materials under subsection
(b)(1), count only those explosive materials that were unlawfully sought to

explosive material that a defendant attempted to obtain by making a false statement. 7. If the defendant is convicted under 18 U.S.C. § 842(h) (offense involving
stolen explosive materials), and is convicted of no other offenses subject

comment. (n.3).Prior felony conviction(s) resulting in an increased base offense level under
subsection (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(4) are also counted for purposes of determining
criminal history points pursuant to Chapter Four, Part A (Criminal History). 10. An upward departure may be warranted in any of the following circumstances:
(1) the quantity of explosive materials significantly exceeded 1000 pounds;
(2) the explosive materials were of a nature more volatile or dangerous than
