Hi i did a search but couldn't find the answer i was looking for so im hoping someone can help me!!
Im mailing a Christmas gift box to Oz and when i was in the post office and declaring its contents i was told that an aftershave and perfume i had included couldn't be sent. No fluids could be posted over even if they are being declared. I hadn't heard this before so wasn't sure if this was correct or not and I wanted to find out before dismantling the box and removing the items!!!!
Thanks in advance!!
 
The restriction on posting liquids internationally is on an posts website.It is an IATA rule.
