What items are prohibited for international shipment?

Asked 6 months ago
There are several items that are prohibited for international shipment through UPS. These include hazardous materials such as explosives, flammable liquids, gases, and radioactive materials. Other prohibited items include narcotics, illegal drugs, and drug paraphernalia. Additionally, perishable items that can spoil or decay, such as food products, live animals, and plants, are not allowed for international shipping. Weapons, ammunition, and firearms are also restricted, along with counterfeit goods, hazardous waste, and items that violate intellectual property rights. It is important to note that each country may have its own set of specific prohibited items, so it is advisable to consult the local regulations and restrictions before shipping internationally with UPS.
