Flammables, cigarettes, alcohol, weapons, frozen foods, fresh foods, and drugs are all goods that cannot be imported. You guys will ask why frozen and fresh foods can’t be imported also. This is because the shipping containers that we provided are ordinary containers. If you want to import this kind of goods, you have to look for another shipping company with a frozen container.

The ordinary containers will drift on the sea for several days. Under the normal temperature of the sun, the heat will make the containers stay in the heat state for a long time. Even at night, the heat in the containers won’t disperse heat, so they are generally at 50-60 degrees Celsius.

In addition, this is also the reason why we cannot transport flammable materials. Long-term sultry containers cannot guarantee that the goods will catch fire or even explode.

For example, lighters and matches cannot be transported.

Do scissors also count as a weapon? Not counted. It is possible to import scissors, fruit knives, and blades. They belong to the category of stationery or kitchenware, but the number of goods cannot be much.

Also, not all knives can be imported. For example, “Baleng Knives” are not included in the shipping services that we provided. If you don’t know whether the goods you want to import are considered weapons, you can ask our customer service staff!

Also, according to different periods, there will be different customs control indicators.
