Biological samples and specimens: Involving ecological protection and quarantine issues, animals and plants and their specimens are usually restricted or prohibited from mailing.

Some foods: It is not recommended to mail foods containing meat products to avoid being seized by customs. At the same time, the food needs to meet the import and export food safety standards and have formal commercial packaging and product labels (non-liquid powder).

In addition, the medicines must be legal and the packaging must have Chinese labels (including product name, ingredients, uses, etc.).

Electronic products: They are sensitive items, especially electronic products containing batteries or magnetic materials. Because batteries are flammable and leaky, many airlines prohibit air transportation.

In international express delivery, it is necessary to carefully understand and comply with relevant regulations and restrictions to ensure that the items can be mailed smoothly and safely to the destination. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to choosing a reliable international logistics company so that it is more convenient to negotiate and deal with problems when they arise.
