Rules to live by

There are some safety restrictions for mail, delivery, and shipment of goods.

This list is not exhaustive, but it gives you an idea of what can and can’t be mailed, delivered by courier or transport in trucks, trains, sea carriers, or airplanes.

Failure to adhere to these rules will lead to the rejection of your shipment and in some cases could result in the prosecution by the authorities of the person responsible (the sender).
