Customs Advice
The importation of certain products into a country is restricted in order to protect the economy and
safety of its citizens. The restrictions may be imposed by Customs or by any other agency which has
regulatory authority.
We provide a shipping service only and Customs at the parcel's destination will determine whether any
charges are payable on your package. All duties, taxes and/or quarantine fees applied are at the
discretion of local customs or governmental organisations and are out of our control.
If the addressee refuses to pay duties/taxes, the parcel may be held, returned (if allowed by Customs)
or destroyed, and additional costs may be incurred. As per Terms and Conditions, those charges will be
billed to the sender.
Please note, no shipping costs are recoverable for parcels held or destroyed, even if shipping
protection cover has been purchased.
Majority of parcels can be delivered door to door, once it has cleared customs at destination. However,
some countries have a door to airport service only. In those countries, the recipients may have to
present themselves to either Customs or the local courier's office to take possession of their
consignment.
We advise you to verify independently, all Customs, Governmental and Quarantine regulations. These rules
can and do frequently change without prior notice or recourse.

Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently

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:

Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the Arab world, with relatively small oil reserves, but a growing hydrocarbon industry does look set to bring in foreign investment in the future. Deals with the International Monetary Fund have seen Yemen's deficit slashed in the past decade, and the government hopes that growth in the non-oil sector will help to pay for a fast and large increase in the country's population, since Yemen currently has one of the world's highest birth rates. Outside the realm of dry economics, the attractions of Yemen include four World Heritage Sites in the shape of the Historic Town of Zabid, the Old City of Sana'a, the Socotra Archipelago and the Old Walled City of Shibam.
