Restricted and Prohibited Items

Explore Custom Requirements

To ensure safety and compliance, certain items are prohibited from shipment due to legal or regulatory restrictions. These include dangerous or illegal goods, counterfeit items, and products banned under federal or state law.

As the shipper, it's your responsibility to verify that your shipment complies with all import/export regulations in both the origin and destination countries. Some items, such as cannabis, tobacco, and alcohol, require special licenses and cannot be shipped through our courier partners.

All shipments are subject to inspection, and our courier partners may refuse items that violate these rules. For a complete list of restricted and prohibited items, please refer to our guidelines.
