Porn is a Nono but people still send it.
Other than that I sent pretty much what ever.
DVDs are ok :D

Heather, here's the USPS link and you can search by overseas zip code, too, as certain zip codes have different restrictions, etc. Hope this helps. :)

I've never run across anything that I couldn't send outside of alcohol, porn, and weapons. It's pretty much common sense. Make sure that any aerosol containers you send have the little rubber pressure release on the bottom so that they'll be okay in the airplane. I'd say that's about it. Make sure that if you send something expensive (like a DVD player or mp3 player) that you get insurance. That alone pretty much prevents any stealing that might occur during the customs process and you're covered if it does.

Thanks! No porn for him lol. He likes movies like Zoolander so I wanted to make sure it was ok. They are 6.99 at Best Buy this week, not a big deal if he loses them.

Also I was told after dhs laptop went missing not to "list" it on the package.
Just put electronic device etc...
The PM said that they will walk away faster if it says "computer" etc...
