What You Can and Can’t Send by Parcel – Know the Rules
By Rapid Route Logistics Limited

• Understand Courier Restrictions
  Every courier service has a list of restricted and prohibited items. Knowing these rules helps prevent delays, fines, or confiscations.
• Prohibited Items You Cannot Ship
  Common examples include explosives, flammable materials, firearms, illegal substances, perishable food (in some services), and counterfeit goods.
• Restricted Items Requiring Special Clearance
  Items like lithium batteries, perfumes, electronics, and liquids may be allowed under strict packaging, labeling, and declaration conditions.
• Check Country-Specific Import Rules
  International shipments may be subject to different restrictions based on the destination country's customs regulations.
• Follow Packaging Guidelines for Safe Transit
  Even approved items must be packaged securely. Fragile, sharp, or liquid goods should be packed to avoid damage or leakage.

  Always describe your parcel’s contents clearly on shipping forms to ensure customs clearance and avoid legal issues.
