Host Country Restrictions
Each country, and even FPO-AP zip codes within those countries, have different restrictions for what is allowed to be mailed to that country. This is based on the laws in the country of destination and we strongly advise adherance to the restrictions and regulations. Use the interface to your right to check your Marine's zip code.

Generally speaking, packages sent to the middle east are not allowed to contain any pork products, alcohol, or materials that would be deemed pornographic by the host country. Tobacco and tobacco products are not restricted by the host country.

US Postal Service Restrictions
Check with your local post office if you have questions or concerns. It has been our experience that each post office (and often, the postal clerks) have their own interpretation for whether or not aerosol cans, liquid hand sanitizer (because of the alcohol content), and/or other liquids are allowed to be shipped.
