Sellers in India are expanding their business across the globe and striving towards a successful international shipping. With the shipping laws becoming more conducive and various incentives increased for sellers, the idea of global selling seems more lucrative than ever.
Few products do very well in the international market compared to others. According to eBay’s report, products like art décor, दागिने, leather goods, health/beauty products, sports goods, etc. are a few of the top-performing ones.
Some sellers believe it is possible to ship anything and everything when they tie up with a courier partner, but that is not true. According to the norms laid out by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, various items are prohibited from shipping. This means they cannot be exported from India to the rest of the world. Each country has different items specified by its government. Courier services like डीएचएल, FedEx, etc., also follow these norms and proceed accordingly.
हा ब्लॉग भारतातून निर्यातीसाठी प्रतिबंधित असलेल्या विविध वस्तूंबद्दल बोलतो. आपण आपल्या ग्राहकांना आपला पॅकेज पाठविण्यापूर्वी हे चेकमध्ये ठेवण्याचे सुनिश्चित करा.
What Are Prohibited and Restricted Items for Shipping?
Shipping companies often have a list of prohibited and restricted items that they don’t ship. This is done to comply with international shipping regulations and ensure safety. Restricted items can only be shipped under specific conditions, while prohibited items are entirely banned from shipping. We’ll discuss them both in detail later in this blog.
It is the responsibility of the consignee of the goods to follow the applicable laws of the destination country. The consignee or the shipper should also comply with the current applicable laws and government regulations in each country.
Any shipping company can refuse or suspend the transportation of goods prohibited by any law or regulation of any state, local, or federal government. The same is applicable for both the country of origin and destination. They can also refuse goods that breach any applicable import, export, or other laws. Moreover, goods that endanger the employees of a shipping company, agents, etc., will also not be transported.

What Does De Minimis Mean?
De Minimis is a Latin term. It is a shortened version of the phrase ‘de minimis non-curat lex.’ So, what does it mean? Its literal meaning is that the law does not care about small matters. The term implies that it is often more efficient to waive off small duties and taxes instead of collecting them. De minimis value refers to the value below which goods can be shipped from one country to another before assessing duties and taxes. De minimis can also be roughly translated to the minimum number of goods you can ship without incurring any customs duties or taxes.
