Batteries - Lithium is restricted in International mail so you must identify what type of batteries you are sending (ie Alkaline AA batteries, AAA nickel Cadmium batteries (Ni-Cd), AA Nickel Metal Hudride (NiMH) batteries, etc.

Sunscreen must be marked non aerosol. If it is a product that is possibly aerosol, it will be refused.


Also, people have written and asked about sending silly string to the troops so they can spray it into a room and detect trip wires. Since the silly string comes in an aerosol can, it is considered a hazardous material, meaning the Postal Service will not ship it by air.
