Short answer – no ATF license needed for 1.4G consumer stuff, even wholesale. The license is for 1.3G (display fireworks). That said, a lot of distributors still won’t sell to you without a business tax ID. They wanna see you’re a legit retailer, not some guy in a parking lot reselling cases.
Some places are more chill about it than others. Where are you located? Makes a difference.
