Prohibited & Restricted Items Agreement
Effective: July 11, 2026 · Version 1.0
Before handing over a parcel, every sender must read and accept this declaration. PassPost carriers are private individuals — sending prohibited items puts them at legal risk and is strictly forbidden.
1. Items you may NEVER send
It is illegal and strictly prohibited to send the following through PassPost, whether within Norway or across borders:
- Narcotics & illegal drugs — All illegal drugs and narcotic substances, including cannabis and cannabis products, drug precursors, and drug paraphernalia. Doping substances (steroids etc.).

- Toxic & corrosive substances — Poisons, pesticides, acids, lye, mercury, chlorine, infectious or biological material, and radioactive material.

2. Restricted items — special rules apply
The following may only be sent when the sender has verified that it is legal for the specific route, quantity, and recipient. When crossing borders, customs and excise rules apply:
- Alcohol & tobacco — Subject to excise duty, age limits, and import restrictions. Never permitted across borders without proper customs declaration.
- Medications — Prescription medicines may generally only be sent to the person named on the prescription, and cross-border shipping is heavily restricted. Sent at the sender's own risk.
- Food & perishables — Animal products, dairy, and meat are restricted across borders. Perishables are sent at the sender's own risk.
- Plants, seeds & soil — Subject to phytosanitary rules when crossing borders.
- Perfume & nail polish — Flammable — small quantities only, and never by air transport.
3. Your responsibility as sender
- You confirm that you have full knowledge of the parcel's contents and that the declaration you give in the app is accurate and complete.
- You are solely responsible for ensuring the contents are legal to transport on the chosen route, including customs rules when crossing borders.
- The carrier and PassPost may refuse, open for inspection in your presence, or hand over to the authorities any parcel suspected of containing prohibited items.
- You accept full legal and financial liability for any damage, loss, penalties, or costs caused by undeclared or prohibited contents.
- Violations lead to permanent exclusion from PassPost and will be reported to the police where required by law.
Important
This declaration supplements the PassPost Terms of Service. Carriage of dangerous goods is regulated by, among others, the ADR agreement, the Norwegian Act on Transport of Dangerous Goods, and applicable customs legislation. This list is not exhaustive — if in doubt, do not send the item and contact PassPost support.
