All personal effects shipments are subject to customs regulations and import restrictions imposed by the destination country. Understanding these requirements in advance helps avoid delays, additional charges, or rejection of shipments.
Customers are strongly advised to review this information carefully before booking.
Customs authorities assess shipments based on:
Declared contents and values
Accuracy of the packing list
Condition of items (used or new)
Destination country regulations
All customs clearance decisions are made solely by the destination customs authority. Interhub Logistics facilitates the process but does not control or influence customs outcomes.
The following items must not be included in any personal effects shipment:
Alcohol and tobacco products
Narcotics, drugs, or controlled substances
Firearms, ammunition, or weapons
Explosives, fireworks, or flammable materials
Counterfeit, pirated, or illegal goods
Pornographic or offensive material
Live animals or plants
Including prohibited items may result in confiscation, penalties, shipment rejection, or legal action.
Some items may be allowed only under specific conditions, approvals, or inspections:
Food items (dry, packaged, or processed)
Medicines, supplements, or vitamins
Electronic appliances
Liquids, cosmetics, or chemical products
New household goods
These items may require:
Import permits or approvals
Inspection or quarantine checks
Payment of duties and taxes
Additional supporting documents
Restrictions vary by destination and are subject to change.
Used personal effects are generally easier to clear when properly declared
New items may attract import duties, taxes, or additional documentation
Mixing new and used items in the same shipment may increase clearance complexity
Always declare items honestly and accurately.
Import duties and taxes are assessed by destination customs authorities
Charges depend on item type, value, and local regulations
Interhub Logistics cannot confirm duty or tax amounts in advance
Any applicable duties, taxes, or destination charges are payable by the consignee unless agreed otherwise.
Customs authorities may:
Open and inspect shipments
Request additional documentation
Hold shipments for verification, valuation, or quarantine
Such inspections may result in delays or additional charges, which are beyond our control.
It is the sender’s responsibility to ensure that:
All items comply with destination import regulations
Packing lists are complete, accurate, and truthful
Declared contents match the actual shipment
Incorrect declarations or restricted items may result in:
Customs delays
Additional charges
Shipment rejection or confiscation
Customs regulations may change without prior notice
Final clearance decisions rest solely with customs authorities
Interhub Logistics acts as a facilitator and cannot override customs requirements
Customers are encouraged to verify destination-specific customs rules before shipping.
If you are unsure whether an item is allowed or restricted, please contact our team before placing your booking. Early clarification helps prevent delays, extra costs, and shipment issues.
