diplomatic bag
Immune official parcel
A diplomatic bag is a sealed container used to transport official correspondence and materials between a country's government and its embassies or consulates abroad.
Under international law, diplomatic bags cannot be opened or detained by foreign authorities, ensuring secure communication.
Also called a diplomatic pouch.
The immunity from inspection has occasionally been exploited to smuggle contraband.
