Package Restrictions

Updated January 2025 2 min read

To keep shipments safe and compliant for everyone, a few categories of items can't be shipped through STS, on either sea or air cargo.

Restricted and prohibited items

Important: Packages found containing illegal or restricted items will be surrendered to customs. Once surrendered, these packages cannot be retrieved — by you or by us.

If you're unsure whether something you're planning to ship falls into a restricted category, it's always worth asking us before sending it over — better to check first than risk losing the package.
