Is it possible to send everything? Frankly, no – you cannot. There are actually a couple of goods that are prohibited for (international) transport, due to safety, health risks or trade embargoes. Since every carrier has their own policies for processing dangerous substances and goods we provide you with a general breakdown.
We highly dissuade sending these goods. If you, however, really really wish to send these, please take into account that you may have to deal with surcharges, delays or even confiscation by the concerning authorities. This list applies to all means and modes of transport.
Should you have doubts or questions regarding the (im)possibilities of shipping your consignment, please contact us! We kindly provide you with advise concerning any possible restrictions. It might save you a lot of frustration and unneeded financial trouble.
To meet the stringent requirements regarding the transport of dangerous goods and to keep everyone out of trouble, Select Courier does not accept substances classified as dangerous in the most recent edition of the Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions. If you have questions or doubts regarding the (im) possibilities of transporting your goods, don't hesitate to let us know.
You can find more information about the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act right here.
There are nine classes of hazardous substances. Select Courier does not accept materials and products that fit in any of these.
Limited liability applies when sending this type of goods. Practically, this means we do not accept claims for damage or breakage regarding restricted goods. Only claims for loss are considered – provided the packagings of these goods meet our packaging guides.
