When sending items
abroad, there are certain things that can’t be sent through a regular parcel

well as the customs information for the destination country as further
restrictions may apply.

Responsibility
It is the
responsibility of the sender to ensure the contents of the consignment are
acceptable items and meet the restrictions imposed. Without opening, the sender
is the only person who knows what is inside the shipment and therefore holds
sole responsibility for the items within it.
Hazard Labels
It is worth noting
that if you are going to be using second-hand packaging, make sure you don’t
use packaging that has hazard labels on it unless applicable to the new
contents. This is to prevent your consignment from being stopped and held even
if the old labels have been covered up. Some examples of typical hazard labels
can be found below:
If you are unsure
about the items you wish to deliver, you can contact us via telephone on 0345
145 1212, send us an email to sales@transglobalexpress.co.uk
or via our online chat service here.
