It is our responsibility to comply with current government regulations or laws applicable in each country. Shipments are subject to inspection and possible delay by customs or representatives of other government authorities. Global Pack Ship will also not transport any goods which are prohibited by law or regulation of any federal, state, or local government in the origin or destination countries or which may breach any applicable export, import, or other laws or endanger any of our employees.
Consequences
A couple of things can happen when prohibited items are discovered in your shipment. However, it may be different for each courier service as they have their own rules and regulations to follow. Common scenarios would likely to happen:
- The prohibited item is removed by the courier but continues the shipping process
- The prohibited item is confiscated by the courier service and likely to be destroyed
- The entire parcel is returned to the sender
- The shipping service can also charge the sender if other parcels are damaged because of the prohibited item.
