Eight minefields that international express delivery needs to avoid

With the increasing frequency of international exchanges, international express delivery has become an important bridge connecting domestic and foreign countries. However, international express delivery is not arbitrary, and there are many "minefields" hidden in it. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of the package, the following eight prohibited items must be kept in mind:

1. Blacklist of prohibited items:

Radioactive materials and any items that may hurt people, such as weapons, ammunition, etc., are strictly prohibited from being mailed.

Dangerous items such as flammable and explosive items, strong acids and alkalis, etc. are also not allowed to be sent.

2. Items prohibited from circulation or delivery by national laws:

Financial items such as domestic or foreign currencies and securities, and other items that are clearly prohibited from circulation or delivery by national laws.

3. Perishable items:

Perishable foods such as raw meat, fruits, and vegetables are prohibited from being sent because they are difficult to keep fresh during transportation.

4. Special forms of items:

Powdered items of any color are usually restricted from being sent because they may contain dangerous substances.

Liquid items, regardless of how they are packaged, may be prohibited or restricted from being sent due to leakage or safety issues.

Semi-liquid or paste-like items such as toothpaste may also be subject to shipping restrictions.

5. Anesthetics and psychotropic drugs:

These drugs are strictly controlled and cannot be shipped without permission.

6. Items that conflict with public health:

Burned remains, corpses, nitrate hides, medicinal animal bones, etc. that may carry germs or endanger public health are prohibited from being shipped.

7. Reactionary or bad items:

Reactionary news books, propaganda materials, and items that are indecent, such as publications with pornographic, violent and other contents, are prohibited from being shipped.

8. Live animals (with some exceptions):

Under normal circumstances, live animals are not allowed to be shipped. However, there are a few exceptions, such as bees, leeches, silkworms, and animals that are tightly sealed in medical and health scientific research institutions.

Warm Tips:

Before sending international express delivery, be sure to understand the customs regulations of the destination country and the delivery requirements of the express company in detail.

For items that you are not sure whether they can be sent, it is recommended to consult the express company or relevant departments in advance.

Complying with shipping regulations is not only a responsibility for the safety of others, but also a protection of your own rights and interests.
