Frequently asked questions
The questions our team gets most often about restricted and prohibited goods.
Use the checker at the top of this page. Type the item, or the brand and category, and you'll see whether it ships normally, ships with conditions, or can't ship at all. If it isn't listed, message our team before you order.
Loose lithium cells are classed as dangerous goods and are refused on both passenger and cargo aircraft. A battery already installed in a laptop, phone or tablet is fine — it's only the loose ones that are banned.
Perfume and other alcohol-based liquids travel by sea freight, in the original sealed packaging and in limited quantities. Pressurised aerosols such as deodorant sprays and hairspray can't fly at all — check with us before ordering them.
We hold it, send you a photo the same day, and give you the options: return it to the seller, move it to sea freight where that's allowed, or have us dispose of it. Nothing is discarded without your say-so unless it's illegal to forward.
No. Once customs seizes or destroys a prohibited item, the shipping charge isn't refunded, and neither is what you paid the seller. That's why it's worth checking before you buy.
Belize customs and the airlines we ship with, not EasyShop. The rules change from time to time, so this page reflects what's being enforced today — check back before a large order.
