Frequently asked questions about shipping restrictions

To help you navigate our shipping guidelines, we've compiled answers to common questions regarding prohibited items, special handling, and how to prepare your shipments effectively. Our goal is to make your shipping process as straightforward as possible.

What are the main items you absolutely cannot ship?

FASTEST GLOBAL COURIER strictly prohibits the shipment of several categories of items due to safety, legal, or ethical reasons. These include, but are not limited to, hazardous materials (such as explosives, flammables, radioactive substances), illegal goods (narcotics, counterfeit items), live animals, human remains, firearms, ammunition, and highly perishable goods. These restrictions are in place to comply with international shipping laws, protect our staff and customers, and ensure the integrity of our services.

Which items require special packaging or documentation?

Certain items can be shipped but require specific packaging, labelling, or documentation. This often applies to delicate items, liquids, certain electronic devices (especially those containing lithium batteries), and high-value goods. For detailed information on specific items, please contact our customer service team directly. We are happy to discuss your specific needs and provide personalised guidance to ensure compliance and safe transit.

How can customers avoid delays due to restrictions?

To minimise the risk of delays or returns, FASTEST GLOBAL COURIER performs thorough due diligence on every shipment. We strongly advise customers to familiarise themselves with our shipping policies and the regulations of both the origin and destination countries. Clearly and accurately declare all contents, use appropriate packaging, and ensure all necessary documentation is complete. If you have any doubts about an item, please contact our expert team before shipping. Our proactive approach ensures that your package has the best chance of a smooth and swift delivery.

Are there country-specific restrictions?

Yes, shipping regulations vary significantly by country. Items that are permissible in one country may be prohibited or restricted in another. It is essential to check the specific import regulations of the destination country prior to shipping. Our customer service team can offer guidance on common country-specific restrictions, but ultimate responsibility lies with the shipper to ensure compliance.
