The above documents are standard for any international shipment.
Please note, if additional documentation is required for the import of any particular item, it is the
customer's responsibility to provide them at destination.
Restrictions
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on
luggage.
A shipment to Cyprus is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as
hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.
The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

Imagine this scenario; for the past fortnight you've been holidaying in the UK - it may have been the final leg of a world tour, or a trip to see family friends. It's the final day of the trip and you're hard at work packing when you realise something very inconvenient - there are far too many souvenirs and gifts for those back home to pack. It's not difficult to do - some local food stuff that will allow you to cook up a version of that special holiday meal once you're back home, a commemorative t-shirt or two, various gifts for the family back in Limassol - it all adds up. In the past this would have been an absolute disaster. The suitcase refuses to fasten, you've crammed every pocket and your hand luggage is in danger of going overweight, yet still you're surrounded by extra stuff. Years ago the only genuine option would have been to leave lots of bits and pieces behind, since shipping to Limassol would have been both highly expensive and extremely time consuming.
